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.
