Constrictor Knot





















































               This knot was invented in the 1930s by Clifford Ashley, the author of The Ashley
               Book of Knots.

                    Its defining feature, compared to the clove hitch, on which it is based, comes
               from  the  fact  that  the  two  half  hitches  do  not  work  one  after  the  other,  but
               together.
                    The constrictor knot is much more effective than the clove hitch and will not
               come undone.
