The rope should be whipped a short distance (One and a half times the diameter) from its end. Lay the head of the twine along the rope, make a bight back along the rope Begin wrapping the twine around the rope and bight of twine securely. Wrap until the whipping is one and a half times wider than the rope is thick
A bight is a slack part in the middle of a rope, usually a curve or loop. [1] [2] Knots that can be tied without access to either end of the rope are called knots in the bight. To tie a knot with a bight is to double up the rope into a bight and then tie the knot using the double rope.
There is a potential with beginners to wrongly tie the bowline. This faulty knot stems from an incorrect first step while tying the rabbit hole. If the loop is made backwards so that the working end of the rope is on the bottom, the resulting knot will be the Eskimo bowline, looking like a sideways bowline, which is also a stable knot.
The hitch is frequently used by hammock campers to attach adjustable rope slings ("whoopie slings") to the webbing straps that are used to attach hammocks to trees. By passing the working end through the marlinespike hitch, this knot can be used as an alternative method of tying the Bowline knot.

Ground-line hitch: A type of knot used to attach a rope to an object. Half hitch: A simple overhand knot, where the working end of a line is brought over and under the standing part. Halter hitch

Knot board [] on Elbe 1 (ship, 1965). A knot is an intentional complication in cordage [1] which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi ...
Chain splice – Attached the working end of a rope to a chain. [7] Figure-eight "splice" knot – A splice-like bend knot used for joining two ropes. Horseshoe splice – A cut splice where the two sides of the loop are of unequal length. Long splice – A splice used to join two rope ends forming one rope the length of the total of the two ropes.
