| How to Tie Knots |
| The Masthead Knot is used principally for decorative purposes today. Originally, its purpose was to place a strap around a temporary masthead to which other straps could be made fast. This knot is started with three overlapping hitches. The inner bights of the two outer hitches are led in regular sequence over and under to the opposite sides of the knot, while the upper bight of the center hitch is merely extended. |
