Square Lashing

This knot could make it easy for you to bind two poles together and make
sure that you’d have strong scaffolding. It’s the kind of knot that allows you
to make support frames, or helps you lash through the sides of trees. With
this knot, you can also wrap some ropes around a stick while your bending

your knees, and can pull them tight with your legs!

Instructions:

1. First, make a clove hitch on one of the poles. Let the clove hitch
wrap around the pole.
2. Then, twist one short end, and wrap it around both of the poles. Do

this for around 3 to 4 times.
3. Now, you have to tighten the lashing. Do it for 3 to 4 frapping
times again.

4. Lastly, end the knot by making 2 to 3 half hitches. Make sure that
they are tight so they’d be secure.
