The inventor of this knot was Owen K. Nuttall of the
International Guild of Knot Tyers in 1987. It is a modification
of the clove hitch, but far stronger and more secure. It is
useful for attaching a line to a spar or rope, and can be
used for either a lengthways or right-angled pull. Its value
is that it can be tied either in the end of the rope or in the
bight, and is easy to release. crossIng Knots
