CLOVE HITCH
Using two inverted loops
in a figure eight

This method is very attractive
because it is so easy, but it
can only be used when the
hitch can be dropped over the
object.
Method
Form a loop with the end over
the standing part (1); hold
the loop securely with the left
hand. Take the standing part
with the right hand, allowing
sufficient length for the
formation of a second loop
and twist the wrist in a
clockwise direction (2). The
standing part should end up
on top. Now flip the bottom
loop over the top one (3,4)
and drop them over the post
with the right hand, holding
the end in the left (5). Tighten
the knot by pulling both ends
(6) .
