Round Lashing
The Round Lashing is mostly used for lashing two parallel pieces together.
Why? So you could make a longer unit, of course! If you’re having
problems with the security of this knot, make sure that you’d hammer the
edges so that they could be wound together tightly.

Instructions:
1. Make a clove hitch first. Do so around the two poles.
2. Then, wrap the rope at least 6 to 8 times around the poles.
3. Make another clove hitch to finish the knot.
4. If you make two, your pole will definitely be longer!
