+ | === Classification of knots === | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are three classifications of knots | ||
+ | |||
+ | *__Knots__ A knot is a fastening in which a piece of rope is tied to itself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *__Hitches__ A hitch is a fastening in which a line is tied to something else, like a post or a ring. An example is a clove hitch a round turn with two half-hitches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *__Bends__ A bend is a fastening in which a line is tied to another line, typically to extend it. Examples include the sheet bend, or the figure 8 follow through, which is far stronger and less likely to slip than a sheet bend. | ||
