Whats are some simple knots to attach a rope to a pole?

It involves simply looping around the pole, and then running through one of the ends through the loop and tightening

  • Sounds like an overhand knot based in the description but that's not a very good way to tie something to a pole. A picture would help.

  • Qudit got it. I couldn't post a picture because I didn't know the name so I don't know how to google an image.

    You can use a clove hitch, lark's head, two-half hitches, taughtline hitch, and timber hitch. Those are basic hitches, and of course, there are many others - not so basic.

A hitch knot.

A hitch is a type of knot used for binding rope to an object.

You may be thinking of a clove hitch.

  • I'll second the clove hitch.

  • Majority of the time this is the clove hitch, so yea. I'd vote for that one. Oct 6, 2017 at 12:30

Sounds like it might be a bowline?
