                                             Cleat Hitch
                       When tied correctly, the Cleat Hitch has a distinctive loop, with one line
                       on top crossing two parallel lines under it.


                       1  Pass the line once around the base, and bring it diagonally across
                          the top.


























                       2  Pass the running end under one end of the cleat and back diago-
                          nally across and on top of the previous pass.
