1. Double button

Tying a double knot is similar to tying a single knot, but it will be much stronger than a single knot.

2. Single seat knot or unfastened noose knot (bowline)

This method of tying creates a fixed loop, and is often used when tying a rope around a person or animal without fear of the loop slipping or tightening around the neck.

This method is often applied when climbing mountains, working at heights or throwing to people about to drown in water...

3. Overhand Knot

This knot is very popular with many of us. The advantage of a single knot is that it is quite tight, but the disadvantage of this method is that it is very difficult to untie. Therefore, you need to think about whether you need to untie the string before tightening the string.

4. Reef knot/square knot

Like the single knot, the flat knot is also very popular and simple. This knot is used to tie the two ends of a rope to fix something in the middle. This knot is also known as the thief knot or the cow head knot.

This tying method can be used to tie goods, tie shoes and end bandages for patients.

5. Figure-of-eight knot

This method is often used by people to prevent the rope from slipping off equipment such as rope ties when sailing or climbing and making rope ladders.

6. Clove hitch

This method is often used when tying a boat rope to a stake on the shore or tying the ends of a tent (when camping). The fishing boat knot is also the starting knot for tree knots.

7. Lark's head (Cow hitch)

The lark knot or lark head knot, depending on the locality, has different names. This type of knot is often tied for hanging, especially hanging objects on a crossbar.

In addition, this knotting method is used to make swings, hang bundles of firewood, erect flagpoles, tie elastic bands, decorate with crochet, or make bracelets with string...

8. Weaver's knot (sheet bend, becket bend, weaver's knot and weaver's hitch)

This tying method is somewhat similar to the single chair tying method. They are used when tying two pieces of rope with different cross-sections, used in connecting ropes when setting up tents, weaving nets, etc.

Double weaver's knot:

9. Double seat button (Bowline on a bight)

The double chair knot also creates a fixed loop in the middle of the rope. The advantage of this knot is that you don't have to worry about the item slipping off when tied, and it's very easy to untie.

This method can be used to create a toe hold in the middle of the rope or as a safety seat in rescue, more convenient and comfortable than a single seat knot. One loop can be used for each thigh and the upper part can be worn across the chest for safety.

10. Sheepshank knot

This type of knot is used to shorten a piece of rope or to tie off the excess rope.

This method can be used when you want to shorten a loose section of rope without having to cut it. It can also be used when tying to trailers or sailboats.

11. Taut Line Hitch

This knot tying method allows you to adjust the length of the string. You can use short pieces of string to tie knots using this method.

Note : the more loops the wire has, the more friction it will create and the more secure it will be, but the maximum should not exceed 10 loops.

12. Timber hitch

Used to tie rope to stakes, this knot is strong and relatively easy to make and remove. It can also be the beginning of an X-shaped tree knot.

13. Trucker's hitch knot

Used to increase or decrease the rope. The method is to use a noose knot in the middle of the rope to create a loop (can be replaced with a beak knot), anchor one end and hook the other end to another anchor end, thread the second anchor end into the loop just created and pull the noose towards you, ending with a single knot.

14. One round two locks

Used to lock the anchor rope knots.
