Round Turn & Two Half Hitches

Wrap a support, then secure the tail with two half hitches.

WHEN TO USE IT

KEEP IN MIND

Tie both half hitches in the same direction.

Step-by-step
  1. Start below the ring

    Bring the working end toward the metal ring.

  2. Approach the opening

    Keep the standing part below the ring as the end rises in front.

  3. Pass through the ring

    Take the end up through the opening and down behind the lower bar.

  4. Complete the round turn

    Continue below the bar and through the ring again in the same direction.

  5. Wrap the standing part

    Bring the end down on the left, across the front, and around the standing part.

  6. Cross over the front

    Bring the end diagonally across the first turn to begin the next hitch.

  7. Make the second turn

    Go around the standing part in the same direction as before.

  8. Tuck under the diagonal

    Pass the end beneath the diagonal crossing and bring it out to the right.

  9. Leave the working end

    Leave a short tail after the two hitches.

  10. Check the attachment

    Two passes hold the ring. Two same-direction half hitches secure the tail around the standing part.
