Two Half Hitches |
| This is a reliable and useful knot for
attaching a rope to a pole. As it's name suggests, it is two half
hitches, one after the other. This knot will slide, resulting in a tight
grip on the post. The knot can slip apart under high stress loads. |

 |
To tie two half hitches:
- After coming around the post, make an underhand loop (the loop
goes under the standing part - attached or long end of the line.)
- Bring the bitter end (free end) up over the standing part and
through the eye which you created.
- Next make a second underhand loop around the standing part, and
run the bitter end through this eye.
- Tighten it up and snug it together.
