You can learn by simply watching the knot tying animation at a moderate speed, or if need be, click on "learn by steps" to get step-by-step rope knot instructions for round turn with two half hitches knots. The round turn with two half hitches is a dependable knot due to its ability to hold well under almost any conditions. The reason this knot retains such a good deal of strength is because it is wrapped around the spar for one full turn before being hitched to itself, without bending the strained line. This knot doesn't compress the fibres of the rope in a pinched area, but spreads the strain. Rope knots can basically be divided into the following groups: 1. Bends - Joining two lines by intertwining them, without splicing, or sewing. 2. Hitches - A knot that secures a rope or line to another object. 3. Stopper – Used to bind strands at the end of a rope to stop fraying or unraveling. Also formed to stop a rope slipping through a hole or to provide a weight or handhold. 4. Bindings – Much like hitches. They are used to bind either lines or objects together. Their aim is to keep objects in place. 5. Splices – Describes the act of joining the ends, or the end and a standing part, of rope by interweaving strands. They are not knots in themselves. 6. Loops – Loops create structures used to tie, or secure, another object or line to another line. They can be formed at the end or midway a length of rope. 7. Plaits - Weaving several lines together to form a pattern and a cohesive structure. 8. Miscellaneous & Decorative – Knots that have decorative, dress or multiple category characteristics.
