MAKING HITCHES

Rolling Hitch
The Rolling Hitch can be tied to a pole or to another rope. It provides
a friction grip to resist sliding if the pull is to the side with the round
turn. It works best when the pole or rope it is being tied to is twice or
more the diameter of the rope used to tie the hitch.

1 Start the hitch with a round turn.

2 Cross over and finish with a Half Hitch.
