Figure 19A/B.One Half Hitch/Two Half Hitches


               Use two half hitches to tie a rope to a tree or a boat or animal to a ring. Sailors
               sometimes complete a clove hitch with one or two half hitches when they want
               infallible  security.  It’s  important  that  both  half  hitches  are  alike,  as  illustrated
               (i.e., both left- or right-handed). Half hitches are one of the most essential knots
               in macramé.
