Add a half hitch...bitter end over working line...and this knot becomes a very safe way to hang a load, even on a square post (assuming the corners aren't too sharp )

The clove hich should not be used when only one side is loaded (as in mooring a boat). It will roll and come undone.

This Knot is the first step in lashings.
Hey tramadog a noose is tied; first by making two loops so it looks like this
_________
(_________
_________)
Then tie the end around 13 times pull it thru the loop and tighten with the end
(if you did'nt see the picture on top this thing is messed)

Used to begin a square lashing only (a timber hitch is used for diagonal lashings).
Submitted by: Joe
very useful for tying off a guy rope (as with the rolling hitch - see prussick note about only three turns instead of four.) I've seen it at Circus's and fairs tied to stakes in the ground.

The clove hitch is crap. too many boy scouts out there, the constrictor hitch is much better and safer. pa dow!

Clove hitch is for temp use only. Dont use when the two opposing pulls are uneven or irregular for too long (boat to mooring with tide/wakes)

A great knot, fast to tie and very strong, even with weak ropes. In germany it's "Webeleinstek" or "Mastwurf" (Mast=mast, pylon; wurf=throw)

The more loops in a noose, the more of a chance that it will instantly break your neck.
The constrictor hitch is an excellent knot, but the double constrictor is even more reliable.

2 clove hitches tired on top of each other....and your boat will never come free
Submitted by: JFK FENCING AUSTRALIA
always use this knot when attaching ropes to my truck. Never safe if used by itself but always safe when a simple thumb hitch is added to the trailing end of knot

In Portuguese I have also seen this called "nó de porco" (pig knot)
Submitted by: Paul Kruse
By adding a half hitch with the dead end taped to the live end, using new 3/4 inch three strand twisted nylon rope, we were able to get about 60 percent of the published breaking strength of the rope. Same results with a double half hitch instead of the tape. This is also the same results we got with a simple bowline. In all cases, we tied to a four inch steel pin in a hydraulic tensile tester. Rope was dry and loads were applied slowly.

Use a clove hitch if you will want to untie it. If it will be permanent, a constrictor knot gets much tighter and rarely loosens.
