This points of
emphasis are that the knot is for taking a strain roughly parallel to the rope
to which it is attached; that the first half hitch takes the strain; and that
the round turn binds the knot fast and is the secret of the knot's
strength.
Starts with a
half hitch and then take a round turn, round standing part and larger rope and
finish with a half hitch on top.
It is used for
tying the open side of a sack. It is a non-slipping hitch for pulling round a
spar or another rope.
