THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK

Square Lashing
If you are making scaffolding or other large square frames, Square
Lashing is the method to use on the corners that meet at right angles.

1 Arrange two poles at a 90-degree angle to each other. Anchor one
end with a Clove Hitch and start wraps, as shown.

2 Make four wraps, passing over the pole at the top, and under the
pole at the bottom, keeping each wrap tight.
