Scaffold hitch or stage hitch: specifically designed to support a stage (see page 160) or plank of
wood. Tied at both ends, the hitch both holds the stage horizontally and is also designed to prevent it
from slipping. The knot can be formed with or without horns (see page 96). Our illustrations show
both the stage and a horn.
