Clove Hitch The Clove Hitch is an easy-to-tie hitch to fasten a rope to an object. It can work loose so it’s best used as a temporary or light-duty knot, or can have two half-hitches tied to secure it. This knot retains 75% of the rope’s strength. This knot can be used as a hitch. Examples: tie a rope to an overhead branch to hang a coat out to dry, close a bear bag, or tie a canoe’s bow line to a tree or dock. |
