How to Tie Knots


Pipe Hitch

  The Pipe Hitch is useful for lifting a bar or post straight up, as in pulling it out of the ground. To tie it, take four or five turns around the post. Cross the end over and finish with two Half Hitches around the standing part. An added hitch is usually taken higher on the post with the standing part to keep the post vertical.
