Square Knot

A square knot is a simple knot used to securely join two ropes of similar thickness. It involves crossing the ends of the ropes in a specific way: tie one over and under the other, then repeat in the opposite direction. When correctly tied, it lies flat and is easy to untie. The square knot is useful for basic purposes like tying bundles or joining ropes temporarily, but it isn’t suitable for bearing heavy loads or critical safety applications, as it can slip or come undone under pressure or uneven load.
