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!
