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
stnnding pnrt 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 obj~.
This is comparable to the Slippery
Hitch.
