- Knot Tying
- The knot is used to attach a rope to a ring, hook, anchor, or other object.
- It is made by taking two rounds of the rope around a solid object, then passing the end under both turns to form a pair of half hitches.
- When not under strain, however, the fisherman's bend may slip loose if the free end is not secured.
- Types of Knot:
- Bowline
- Half Knot
- Square Knot
- Figure Eight Knot
- Timber Hitch
- Tautline Hitch
- Clove Hitch
- Two Half Hitches
- Sheet Bend
- Sheepshank Knot
- Overhand (safety) Knot
- Noose Knot
- Reef Knot
- Slip Knot
- Whipping Knot
- Bowline
- An ancient and simple knot used to form a fixed loop at the end of a rope
- It has the virtues of being both easy to tie and untie; most notably, it is easy to untie after being subjected to a load
- 2. Half Knot
- Also known as half hitch, where the working end of a line is brought over and under the standing part
- 3. Square Knot
- Composed of two overhand knots turned in opposite ways
- It flattens when pulled tight, making it useful in first aid and for tying packages
- A surgeon’s knot is an elaborated form of the square knot
- 4. Figure Eight Knot
- commonly used to “tie in” to the rope
- A figure-eight on a bight is a large knot with relatively gradual bends and is recognized by the tell tale “8” shape
- 5. Timber Hitch
- A knot used to attach a single length of rope to a cylindrical object
- Secure while surface tension is maintained, it is easily untied even after heavy loading
- 6. Tautline Hitch
- An adjustable loop knot for use on lines under tension
- Useful when the length of a line will need to be periodically adjusted in order to maintain tension
- Made by tying a rolling hitch around the standing part after passing around an anchor object
- 7. Clove Hitch
- Ancient type of knot made of two successive single hitches tied around an object
- Most effectively used to secure a middle section of rope to an object it crosses over, such as a line on a fencepost
- 8. Two Half Hitches
- Used as stoppers in case you are feeding a rope through a pulley
- It is also a stopper for another knot such as a bowline or a clove hitch
- A handhold in case you are either climbing a rope or using it to haul items towards you
- 9. Sheet Bend
- Also known as “weaver’s knot”, it is widely used by sailors for uniting two ropes of different sizes
- The end of one rope is passed through a loop of the other, is passed around the loop, and under its own standing part
- 10. Sheepshank Knot
- Typically used for securing loads to trucks or trailers, and in sailing applications
- 11. Overhand (safety) knot
- One of the most fundamental knots, and it forms the basis of many others
- 12. Noose Knot
- A loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot
- 13. Reef Knot
- Also known as “square knot”, is an ancient and simple binding knot used to secure a rope or line around an object
- 14. Slip Knot
- A stopper knot which is easily undone by pulling the tail
- Related to the running knot, which will release when the standing end is pulled.
- 15. Whipping Knot
- a binding of marline twine or whipcord around the end of a rope to prevent it's natural tendency to fray
- Hauling part
- the section of the rope that is actively pulled or hauled during a task or operation
- Standing Part / End

- includes all the rope excluding the working end
- Running / Working ends
