How to Tie Knots

---

Hanson Knot

Tie an Overhand Knot in the standing part of the rope by making an overhand loop and pulling the end through the loop.   Bring the end back through the loose Overhand Knot as though you were making a Slip Knot.   Now, bring the end over the standing part, under it, and through the Overhand Knot. Make a Half Hitch by bending the end across the Overhand Knot and under itself so that it lies next to the standing part.   Tighten the Overhand Knot first and then the Half Hitch. To untie, push on the top loop (A) and pull on the bottom loop (B).
