A clove hitch is used to secure a rope to an object more firmly than a half hitch.
It is commonly used when attaching a rope to poles, rings, or cylindrical objects.
1. Wrap the rope around the object.
2. Wrap the rope around the object a second time, crossing over the first wrap.
3. Slide the second wrap under the crossing point.
4. Pull both ends of the rope to tighten the knot securely.
