THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK
Trucker’s Hitch
The Trucker’s Hitch is tied with a Slipped Figure Eight Knot, shown in
Chapter 4.
1 Start a Slipped Figure Eight Knot in the bight by making an extra
twist to a crossing turn.
2 Finish the Slipped Figure Eight Knot by pulling a bight of the run-
ning end through it.
3 Treat the resulting loop as if it were a pulley by passing the running
end around the anchor point and then back through the loop.
