HITCHES

Clove Hitch

The clove hitch is a quick and easy knot to tie especially when you can pop it over the end of what you're tying on to. It's easy to untie even after a load has been applied.

Step #1

Make two loops, twisted in opposite directions. Clove Hitch - Step 1

Step #2

Place the left loop under the left part of the right loop, to form a hole. Clove Hitch - Step 2

Step #3

Pop the hole over the end of the object you're tying on to (in this case a barely-visible dowel rod). Clove Hitch - Step 3
