Square Knot
This knot is the first knot you learn in scouts. It is used for
joining two ends of knots. |
|
Double Half Hitch
This knot is a reliable and useful knot for attaching a rope to a pole
or boat mooring. To finish, push them together and snug them by
pulling on the standing part. |
|
Bowline Knot
The bowline has been the king of knots. It will never slip or jam if
properly made and, thus, is excellent for tying around a person in a
rescue. |
|
Clove Hitch
This is one of the most widely used knots. Because it passes around
an object in only one direction, it puts very little strain on the
rope fibers. |
|
Sheepshank Knot
This knot is used to shorten a rope that is fastened at both ends. |
|
Sheet Bend Knot
The sheet bend is an important knot for joining two rope ends,
especially if the ropes are of different sizes. Sailors named it
when they would "bend"(tie) the "sheets"(ropes of the rigging of the
ships). |
