The Clove Hitch

First Class Badge / Pioneering Merit Badge Requirement

• Used to start a lashing, or otherwise loosely attach a rope to a pole.  This knot provides a quick and secure result. It rarely jams, and can in fact suffer from the hitch unrolling under tension if the pole can turn. Often used to start and finish lashings.
