CLOVE HITCH

Clove hitch is a temporary holding hitch, for example, stage view or mooring buoy, notwithstanding tying it by Threading the End, the Clove Hitch can likewise be tied Using Half Hitches and by Using Stacked Loops

The clove hitch has one or two faults. It slips and, illogically, can likewise bind. It should be profoundly not trusted when used by itself. Moreover, the Clove Hitch can be exceptionally helpful.

Clove Hitch can be use to adjust curtains dangling from a bar on a stage, a Clove Hitch round the bar permits the height adjustment of the bar to be moved up or down by rolling the knot gently. At the correct height, few Half Hitches round the standing end give security.

Clove Hitch can be helpful while connecting a boat's fender to a railing, the fender's line can be first secured with a Clove Hitch and afterward, when adjusted, safe with 2-Half Hitches over the standing end.

Note

The Clove Hitch isn't a knot to be used alone because of its slipping nature

If that you make the knot safe or secure by stacking on extra Half Hitches, i.e., various clove hitches, at that point you are welcoming a significant strain to make the prior turns to bind firmly and get difficult to loosen. Along these lines, if on a boat you feel like using a Clove Hitch, simply resist it! Use something different except if you are just hanging a fender.
