     Running Knot and Half Hitch
      With this combination, you again
    tie the knot around the standing part,
    so that the short end slips through
    freely. Then take the end below the
    knot and carry it around behind the
    standing part to the front, where it is
    tucked down through the loop,
    producing a Half Hitch (fig. 2).
    Drawing the loop up pulls the Half
    Hitch into the Running Knot. The
    loop can be adjusted to almost any
    size and used as a "hitch" over a post
    or similar object.
    This is comparable to the Slippery
    Hitch.
