Clove Hitch

A Clove Hitch is a simple knot used to secure a rope to a post, pole, or ring. To tie it, wrap the rope around the object twice, crossing over itself. Then, tuck the end of the rope under the last wrap and tighten. It’s reliable, easy to adjust or untie when needed, and commonly used in boating, camping, and construction. Its design distributes load evenly and holds well under tension, making it a versatile choice for temporary or steady fastening.
