How to Tie the Two Half-Hitches Knot
Click here to watch a video tutorial.
Use two half-hitches to tie a rope to a tree, ring or dock. Two half-hitches are commonly used to tie guy lines onto a dining fly. Here’s how to tie this knot.
- Pass the running end of the rope around the post or through the grommet.
- Bring the end over and around the standing part of the rope, then back through the loop that has formed. This makes a half-hitch.
- Continue taking the end around the standing part to tie another half-hitch (this time outside the loop). Be sure to go around the standing part in the same direction.
- Pull the knot snug and slide it against the pole or grommet.

Oh my god, It was hard to understand it out of the book but this is actually super easy, the video really helped!
Thanks for this video. I was struggling with this and you helped me. Thank you!
It’s actually pretty simple,try finding a different resource, like videos on youtube that explain it thoroughly. I felt the same way about knots, but now I have earned my scout rank and working towards Tenderfoot. Good Luck!
