To Mr Kool: There ain't nothing
to get your mind on.
Just do like the picture
shows if you need an
untieable eye. Of course,
you could use a bowline, too.

If you analyze the structure of the knot, it can be tied as a bend, making the entire length of the rope into a handle. Sometimes this is useful for carrying around two bottles or jugs with a moderately short piece of line (tying one as a bend, and the other as the standard hitch). It is somewhat difficult to tie though. Also, any form of this knot jams like crazy.

It's a great knot, but I tie it a little different with the exact same result in the end. In step 2, instead of taking the indicated part of the rope/string, I use the bottom of the loop and bring it up weaving it in and out then pull down the loops. It locks around a bottle neck perfectly. Enough strength (if the bottle has a lip on it) to swing it around vertically and it won't fall off. I've tried it, but it must be very tight around bottle neck. If you tie a fisherman's loop in the free ends you can carry it with two handles. Very well balanced handles.

is this the same as the jug knot. they are not tied the same but look very similar? a lovely knot.

I mistakenly called the fisherman's loop the bottle knot, this looks more like what I learned as the bottle knot (many years ago...).

You have to put a bottle or something through the hole on the left in the picture and the tighten the knot around that. The loop on the right is the handle for carrying the object.

A friend gave me a waterbottle with a 'rucksack knot' that forms a great handle to hang from a backpack or to use as a handle. Could the Jug Sling Hitch be that knot under a different name? I didn't watch it being tied - it's been 8 years ago - but I do want to replicate it.

I have heard this knot called the "Hackamore" and it was used as a horse bridle - the nose through
the middle and the loop over the ears and the two loose ends as reins.

It is, as Jim (jsmith3@mindspring.com) says above, also known as the
Hackamore knot. In my experience, in that case it is used to anchor
the mecate (= about 22 feet of horsehair rope that when properly tied and rigged
forms a pair of reins and a lead rope) to the braided rawhide noseband
of the hackamore. A hackamore is used in some areas of the US and
elsewhere as an alternative to a bit and bridle.
There is a story in Woodenboat Magazine of an Englsih merchant seaman
reporting for duty on an American ship, and having his duffle bag closed
with this knot instead of a piece of line through brass eyelets. His explanation,
when asked about it, was that in the Royal Navy they had to save the
brass for shell casings and buttons for the Admirals' uniforms. :-)
If you make a careful drawing of the jug sling knot, and xerox it, and
then flip one of the two illustrations, superimpose one over the other,
and hold them up to the light, you will see that this knot has a most
interesting symetry.
I use it for hanging brushes, brooms, and the like in my shop.

Andrew's -extremely- useful comment should be in the page text (or diagram, item 5!)

I find these directions to not be detailed enough to really understand the knot. i stumbled upon this site while looking for someone else with the instructions because the site i usually go to is down. your best bet with these instructions is to just look off of step 4 and string it that way on a flat surface. put it on the bottle after its been loosely tied.

In portuguese its called:
Nó de botija (knot jar) ou de espada (sword knot). This last name came from the fact that navy officers use tis knot to fancy their swords
In Brazillian its Nó de moringa as was said.

It was discovered around the 1200's. Was used for tying various jugs and sacks together for market.
You need more info on how to make it.

The jug knot is ancient. I have seen reference to it dating back as far as the Phoenecians, who used it to suspend their amphora within their trading ships. The early Celts and Gaelic knew of it and used it in marriage rituals as a form of ring...so I've been told. It has also been referred to as a 'strangler's knot' and has been linked to the Thugees of India. Personally, I use it to secure breathing tubes to patients as its four ties are independent of each other and so it provides up to 50% redundancy should one break.

This knot goes back to at least ancient Greece. It was described by Heraklas in the first century.
