| Start with your rope around the pipe. |
|
| Take a wrap. |
 |
| The second wrap is placed over the first. |
 |
| The free end of the rope goes through the second wrap. |
 |
| Once the free end is through, pull it tight. |
 |
| This is a finished Clove Hitch. For safety sake, add the next couple of steps. |
 |
| This is a Half Hitch. Take the free end and take a wrap around the load line, then pass it through itself. |
 |
| Pull it tight. |
 |
| Do that again. |
 |
| This is what the final knot will look like. At this point, you should consider taping the loose end up to the load line. |
 |
| This is a Double Half Hitch by itself. See above to learn to tie this. |
