BRIEF INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS A KNOT?
A knot is a complexity in a rope which may be useful or a decoration. Hitches, bends, or
splices are classification of practical knots which are functional in many ways. A hitch is rope
that is roped up to another object; a bend merges two rope ends; and a splice is a variety of
strand bend or loop.
A knot can be also a stopper or a hold at the end of a rope to refrain from slipping through a
loop. The workable purposes of knots marked an excitement and beautiful interest since age –
old times.
Each kind of knot has its own properties that make it suitable for a particular task. There is a
particular knot to link the rope or other knotting material to other objects such as another
rope, cleat, ring, etc. It may also be used to bind, fasten up or compress objects. Decorative
knots usually fix to produce interesting and enthusiastic patterns.
WHAT IS KNOT TYING?
Knot tying are techniques and skills engage in tying a knot in rope, nylon webbing, and
others. Proper tying of a knot can be determined between a good-looking knot and a confused
one, and of course the safety. In knot tying, differences between what works, and what
doesn't are important to be recognized. If they are not backed up with a single or double
overhand knot make sure the end of the rope doesn't make its way through the main knot and
in that case, it will not lose its strength.
Tying of a knot may be very direct or may be more difficult, in direct instances such as with
an overhand knot and a difficult one like monkey's fist knot. Tying knots accurately requires
an understanding of the type of material being tied. For example, cotton string may be very
small and easy to tie with lots of internal resistance to keep it from collapsing once tied, while
