2. How to make the following Knots, and what are these knots for? Plus other info you can acquire on them: a. Overhand knot is used in other knots including the Square knot which is two Overhand knots. The overhand knot can be used temporarily but can untie very easily if tied around something. The overhand knot can be used as a stopper knot and can keep a rope from fraying or unraveling but theFigure Eight is a much better stopper knot. - Hold the rope out parallel to the ground and cross it over to form a loop. - Wrap the right-hand end through the loop, and pull!

b. Square knot or Reef knot This most common knot is used to tie together two working ends of the same material and size. Take an end of rope in each hand and lay the left hand end over the right.

 Then, using your right hand, take the end from the left down behind the other rope and up to the front again. Point the ends inwards again, this time the right hand one over the other one, then take it down behind it and up to the front through the loop which has now been formed. Pull the knot tight. This knot is often remembered by, 'left over right and right over left'.

c. Figure-of-8 & Double Figure-of-8 Knot This is a 'stopper knot' that is unlikely to jam or pull loose. It is also used, when doubled, to tie a loop in a rope. Form a loop in the end of a rope. Take the working end behind the standing part and back over itself into the open loop. Finish by pulling both sides of the knot tight. If the knot is correct, it will look like a figure of eight'

d. 2 Half hitches This is a long name for a simple hitch used to attach a rope to a post, spar, tree, and so on. It is a composite knot formed from two simple knots. Form a round turn by turning the working end twice around the post. Then form a half-hitch by taking the working end around the standing part forming a crossed loop. Repeat to form a second half-hitch. These should be tied in the same direction and tightened up against the post to ensure that the round turn doesn't slip.

e. Clove hitch The clove hitch is another method of 'hitching' a rope to a post. Not as secure as the round turn and two half-hitches, it is often used to begin other hitches and lashings. There are many ways to tie a clove hitch. However, the one that everyone should know is: Pass the working end over and under a rail. Run it across the standing part at the front. Continue round the rail again and bring the working end back to trap it under the diagonal.

Thus the two ends of the rope should be laid next to each other under the diagonal but running in opposite directions. The clove hitch looks like a 'N'. f. Fisherman's knot

The real name of the Fisherman's knot is the Improved Clinch knot. But way back when, many people called it the Fisherman's knot because every angler knew how to tie it, and it was often the first knot they learned to attach a fishing line to a hook. The
Fisherman's Knot is usually used to tie two ropes or lines of similar diameter such as lines used in Fishing, hence the name. It can also serve as a stopper knot and tie up loose ends of the rope.
-Get the first rope and make a complete turn around the second rope. -Make another turn and then pass the working end of the first rope through the two loops. -Pull to tighten g. Sheet bend The 'sheet' is the sailor's name for a rope. Thesheet bend is used to tie together two ropes of different types or unequal thicknesses. Form a bight in the working end of the thicker rope. Take the working end of the thinner rope and pass it up through the bight. Take the thinner rope round the back of the bight and trap it under itself. Remember not to take the working end back down the bight in the first rope.

 Pull tight by holding the bight in one hand and pulling the standing part of the second rope with the other Make sure the two ends are on the same side of the knot. If the ropes are of very different thickness, take the working end round the bight and under itself twice to form a double sheet bend.

h. Tape knot The tape knot, as its name suggests, is used to tie the ends of tape (webbing) together, usually into a loop for an anchor. -Start by tying an overhand knot in one piece of tape, making sure not to introduce any twists. - Starting from the free end, retrace the original knot with the second piece of tape. ...until you have retraced the entire knot. - Pull tight and set the knot
