66. Clove Hitch on a Bight

Also known as: Builder’s Knot, Dry Weather Hitch

It is sometimes convenient to tie a Clove Hitch on a bight—for example, if
the working end is especially long. This method places the rope in its final
arrangement before it is slipped over one end of the object, but it results in
a knot that’s a proper Clove Hitch.

Uses: light-duty hitch, tying up boats, perimeter lines on stakes, binding knot
Pros: easy and quick to tie

Cons: insecure; can jam
