Bowline Knot

The bowline is an ancient and simple knot used to form a fixed 'eye' at
the end of a rope. It has the virtues of being both easy to tie and untie;
most notably, it is easy to untie after being subjected to a load. The
bowline is sometimes referred as King of the knots because of its
importance. It is one of the four basic maritime knots.

Half Hitch
The half hitch is a simple overhand knot, where the working end of a line
is brought over and under the standing part. Insecure on its own, it is a
valuable component of a wide variety of useful and reliable hitches,
bends, and knots.

Two Half-Hitches
The two half-hitches is a type of knot, specifically a binding knot or hitch
knot. It consists of an overhand knot tied around a post, followed by a
half-hitch. Equivalently, it consists of a half-turn around a post followed
by a clove hitch of the running end around the standing part.
This knot is also sometimes referred to as a clove hitch over itself, or
double half-hitch.

The Taut-Line Hitch

It is an adjustable loop knot for use on lines under tension. It is useful
when the length of a line will need to be periodically adjusted in order to
maintain tension. It is made by tying a rolling hitch around the standing
part after passing around an anchor object. Tension is maintained by
sliding the hitch to adjust size of the loop, thus changing the effective
length of the standing part without retying the knot.

Clove Hitch
The clove hitch is a type of knot. Along with the bowline and the sheet
bend, it is often considered one of the most important knots and is
commonly referred to as a Double Hitch.[1] A clove hitch is two
successive half-hitches around an object. It is most effectively used as a
crossing knot. It can be used as a binding knot, but is not particularly
secure in that role.

Dog Shank
The dogshank is a variant of the sheepshank, where the eyes formed at
each end have the ends of the rope passed through them to prevent the
knot from spilling.

Sheep Shank
The sheepshank is a type of knot (or, more accurately unknot) that is
used to shorten a rope or take up slack. The knot has several features
which make it suitable for this purpose:
Scaffold Hitch
The Scaffold hitch, otherwise known as a Poacher's knot, Barrel knot, or
Strangle-Snare, is an end-termination knot used mostly in the tree-
climbing industry.

Fisherman's knot
The fisherman's knot is a bend (a knot for joining two lines) with a
symmetrical structure consisting of two overhand knots, each tied around
the standing part of the other. Other names for the fisherman's knot
include: angler's knot, English knot, halibut knot, waterman's knot.

Highway’s Hitch
is a quick-release draw loop knot used for temporarily securing a load
that will need to be released easily and cleanly. The hitch can be untied
with a tug of the working end, even when under tension. The
highwayman's hitch can be tied in the middle of a rope, and so the
working end does not need to be passed around the anchor when tying
or releasing.

Man Harness Knot

is a knot with a loop on the bight for non-critical purposes. The artillery
loop must have the loop loaded or it will slip and contract easily.

French Bowline
The French Bowline knot is a variation on the double-looped bowline. It
is used to fasten mooring lines or to link two ropes together.

Spanish Bowline
is a double loop knot that can be used to lift a person. For a conscious
person, each loop is placed around a leg and the person holds onto the
standing part of the rope. This knot can serve as a makeshift Bosun's
chair.

Marlin Spike Hitch

The marlinespike hitch is a temporary knot used to attach a rod to a rope
in order to form a handle. This allows more tension than could be
produced comfortably by gripping the rope with the hands alone.

Whipping Knot
is a binding of marline twine or whipcord around the end of a rope to
prevent its natural tendency to fray. The whipping can be made neat and
permanent by tying it off or sewing the ends of the twine through the
rope.

Rolling Hitch
is a binding of marline twine or whipcord around the end of a rope to
prevent its natural tendency to fray. The whipping can be made neat and
permanent by tying it off or sewing the ends of the twine through the
rope.

Timber Hitch
The timber hitch is a knot used to attach a single length of rope to a
cylindrical object. Secure while tension is maintained, it is easily untied
even after heavy loading.

Noose Knot
A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot slides to make
the loop collapsible. Knots used for making nooses include the running
bowline, the tarbuck knot, and the slip knot. The knot most closely
associated with execution is the hangman's knot, which is also known as
the "hangman's noose".

Figure Eight Knot

The figure-eight knot or figure-of-eight knot is a type of stopper knot. It is
very important in both sailing and rock climbing as a method of stopping
ropes from running out of retaining devices. Like the overhand knot,
which will jam under strain, often requiring the rope to be cut, the figure-
of-eight will also jam, but is usually more easily undone than the
overhand knot.

Square Knot
The reef knot, or square knot, is an ancient and simple binding knot used
to secure a rope or line around an object. It is sometimes also referred to
as a Hercules knot. The knot is formed by tying a left-handed overhand
knot and then a right-handed overhand knot, or vice versa. A common
mnemonic for this procedure is "right over left; left over right", which is
often appended with the rhyming suffix "... makes a knot both tidy and
tight".

Sheet Bend
The sheet bend (also known as becket bend, weaver's knot and
weaver's hitch) is a bend, that is, a knot that joins two ropes together.
