How to Tie Knots
Overhand Knot
 This knot is used as a "stopping" knot.
Figure Eight Knot
  Often used in such places as the end of a string when tying a package with a slipknot or in the end of a rope forming a lariat loop.
Sailor's Knot
  Thanks to Lee Mager from Troop 153 of NYC for informing us about this knot. Thanks again for helping to make this site one of the best around!

  "It's basically two half hitches. It has the same advantage. Pulling the knot back along the line it goes around can be used to make the line taut. It's good for tent lines too."
Double Sheet Bend
  Thanks to Patrick Greenlee for informing us about this knot. The following is their information as it was when it was sent to us. Thanks again, Patrick, for helping to make this site one of the best around!

  "The double sheet bend, like the sheet bend is used to fasten a small line to a larger one. In the illustration the light colored line would be the smaller and the darker one would be the larger. A double sheet bend may be employed when a sheet bend may not have enough friction to hold well.

  "In your web picture it would appear that the person that tied the knot was left handed or standing on their head as the darker line is held fast and the lighter line is manipulated to form the knot, it would have been quite awkward for a right handed person positioned right side up.

  "I have personally tied triple sheet bends to secure polypropylene due to its being so slipery and still when not under some tension it may loosen enough to fall apart."
Cat's Paw
  The cat's paw is a better way to attach a rope to a hook than using a blackwall. It will not slip and needs no constant strain to hold Form two loops and turn them inward one or two complete turns. Hang these "eyes" over the hook or other such object.
Fisherman's Knot
  The fisherman's knot is used for joining two fine lines such as fishing leaders. It is simply two overhand knots, one holding the right-hand line, and the the other the left-hand line. Pull each of the two overhand knots taut separately. Then make the whole knot taut so the two overhand knots come together by pulling on the standing parts of each line.
Miller's Knot
  This is a close relative of the clove hitch and is used in tying sacks with heavy string or cord. Note that the first turn around the sack leads over the forefinger and the others pass under all fingers.
Bowline on Bight
  Like the French bowline, the bowline on a bight forms two loops, but they must be of the same size. Start by making a good-size bight and an overhand loop. Bring hte end loop and bring it down and around the entire knot. Set the knot securely before putting weight on it.
Bow Knot
Chain Hitch
object to  Thanks to Martin Dailey of Alcatel Submarine Networks in Portland, Oregon for informing us about this knot. The following is their information as it was when it was sent to us. Thanks again, Patrick, for helping to make this site one of the best around!
  "We build fiber optic Cable witch is put on the ocean floor. Some of the cable is as large as 2 inches in Diameter. When we need to pull some cable from one tank to another we tie a chain hitch on the cable and use the rope to start pulling the cable . It is a verry nice Hitch it locks on itself and you can pull anything with it."
