Rolling Hitch

The Rolling Hitch is a knot used to attach a rope to a rod, pole, or another rope. It’s a type of friction hitch that is used to resist lengthwise movement in a single direction of pull. It is typically used when the rope needs to be pulled along an object rather than at right angles. The rolling hitch is a versatile knot and can be used in many situations such as in boating, climbing and rigging. It’s also known as Magnus hitch, but it’s a bit different from it. The Magnus hitch is typically used to attach a rope to a pole or another rope, but it’s a more complex knot. The Rolling Hitch is generally considered a more secure and reliable option for lengthwise pull along an object, and it’s relatively easy to tie and untie.

1. Take the rope that you want to attach to the pole or other object, and make a turn around the pole, leaving a bight (a loop) on the side nearest to you.
2. Take the end of the rope, and pass it behind the standing part of the rope (the part that is not in the bight).
3. Bring the end of the rope over the top of the pole and pass it through the bight.
4. Take the end of the rope and pass it behind the standing part again.
5. Bring the end of the rope over the top of the pole and pass it through the bight again.
6. Pull the end of the rope tight to secure the hitch.

It’s important to make sure the rope is tight and secure before using the hitch. Rolling hitch is a useful binding knot that is used to secure a rope to a cylindrical object.
