Clove Hitch
|
-
Use to attach a rope to a pole, this knot provide a quick
and secure result. It rarely jams, and can in fact suffer
from the hitch unrolling under tension if the pole can
turn. Often used to start and finish lashings.
-
With practice, this can be easily tied with one hand -
especially useful for sailors!
-
Tip. If you are in a situation where the clove hitch may
unroll, add a couple of half hitches with the running end
to the standing end of the knot, turning it into a "Clove
Hitch and Two Half Hitches"!
-
Tip. When pioneering, use the
Round turn and two half hitches
to start and finish your lashings instead of the Clove Hitch.
It won't unroll, and is easier to finish tying off. It just
does not look so neat!
