Description: The Two Half Hitches is formed by tying two overhand turns (half hitches) around a standing part of the rope. This creates a secure and adjustable connection that's ideal for tying to poles, cleats, or rings.

It's often used for tying fenders to rails, securing lines to posts, or anchoring tent guy lines. The knot is easy to tie and untie, even after bearing weight - making it a favorite among sailors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

For extra security, especially under heavy or jerking loads, an additional half hitch or stopper knot can be added.
