THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK
Round Turn and Two Half Hitches
(continued)
3 Next, tie a second Half Hitch.
The Round Turn and Two Half Hitches is the most common hitch
used for tying off a rope when you know you won’t need to adjust it
after tying. The most important feature of this knot is the round turn.
If the rope you are tying is already under strain, the extra turn will help
hold against it while making the Half Hitches and will continue to
reduce the strain on the Half Hitches.
