Tie a nice knot. Self-tightening knot: types, methods of knitting. The constrictor is a knot. For decorative crafts

Knitting fishing knots and loops is an integral and one of the important parts in fishing science. Probably, every angler had this when the bite is cut off due to poor-quality connection of the elements of the equipment and not only the long-awaited catch is missed, but also expensive fishing accessories. Such a failure will unsettle even the most "seasoned" hunter. It is at such moments that you understand that everything needs quality, accuracy and skill.

In this article, we have selected for you the most high-quality and reliable fishing knots, the technique and knitting of which we will consider in detail.

1. How to knit stopper knots

Stopper assembly material:

  • woolen thread.

The purpose of the stopper assembly- set the required depth to the bait or the elements of the rig.

Application area- float fishing using a sliding float when fishing at long distances.

Sliding Float Stopper Requirements:

  • must determine the required depth of descent of the float for fishing, and securely fixing itself on the fishing line;
  • the fastening of the stopper unit must be movable, but without independent movement;
  • the knot must pass freely through the rings of the tackle;
  • should not deform the main fishing line.

The stop knots are prepared just before the fishing process in place. Before you start knitting a knot, you must first moisten the fishing line (with water or saliva) so that it does not heat up in the process and thus does not weaken the knot itself.

"Single node"
For knitting, you need a 15 or 20 cm piece (woolen thread)

Knot binding scheme

Node "Double" or "kremkus"
This nodal structure requires you to fold the line in half.

Knot "Stop clinch" or "klinch knot"

Node "Bud" or "button knot"
In order to learn how to correctly knit this type of stopper knot, we suggest watching this video

How to make loops correctly, see the diagram

Units called "surgical" are used as blanks to form a connection.

Educational video for newbie anglers from the channel "FishingVideoUkraine"

Look at the diagram and don't make mistakes!

Node "Blood ties" or "blood knot"
Other English names for this node:

  • attach knot;
  • fisherman's bend knot.

For knitting of this type of knot, fishing lines are used with a difference in diameter of no more than 30%.

The advantage of this assembly is not only in its strength, but also in its compactness, so that it can easily pass through the rod rings. The disadvantage is the laboriousness and the availability of skills in execution.

We put the free ends of the two threads on top of each other. Then we make 5 turns relative to each other. Take one of the ends of the thread back and drag it under the first turn. We do a similar manipulation with the second end.

Double Sliding Node
This unit can be made as a connecting element of two, and monofilament with. However, the diameters of the material used should not differ by more than 50%. A fairly strong knot, it has an advantage over a knot of the blood knot type.

And here is the execution diagram of this node

3. How to knot knots to connect monofilament line and braid

  • wetting the cord.

It is known that one of the drawbacks of braided line is its ability to become flat after several times of use. Therefore, when forming a node, this must be taken into account. You should also know that the thickness of the cord also affects the strength of the knot; the thicker, the weaker the knot turns out.

Shock Leader knot
The knot turns out to be small and able to freely slide through the rings of the rod, which gives it an advantage in use in many types of fishing.

This video clearly shows the order of execution of the node

Mahin leader knot or carrot
It is a reliable and compact knot suitable for spinning, feeder and carp rods. Excellent bonding to and from or. When fishing, it is perfect for tying a shock leader.

If the vases have difficulties with knitting this knot, watch this video from V. Nikolaev

Albright Node
When it comes to quality, we mean a universal knot for fishing with various tackles. If you are exclusively engaged in spinning fishing and you need to tie a thin line and braided line or fasten a leash, then by all means use this knitting method. But do not neglect the main rule of tying the lines - the lines should not have a strong difference in diameter!

For float fishing, the knot is used instead, when its presence is not appropriate, since especially delicate elements of equipment are used and the swivel spoils everything with its bulkiness.

4. How to knots for a hook without an eyelet (with a spatula)

In this section, we will introduce you to simple and complex assemblies of knots for shovel hooks. These hooks are available in small sizes.

A knot on hooks of this kind is difficult to do, since the process of execution requires a certain skill and accuracy. The fishing line should fit tightly and evenly on the forend, without layers of layers on top of each other. It is very important after the completion of the process that the line is on the side of the hook and is, thus, an extension of its forend. We also recommend applying a little glue to the assembly to maintain the reliability of the structure.

Node "Universal"
Line material used:

Suitable for crocheting with or without an eye.

Ailit or eyelet knot
V. Nikolaev in his next video will continue to acquaint you with the knot tying rules. We present to your attention a mount called "Ailit"

Trombone loop knot
Other node names:

  • trombone loop;
  • spade end knot;
  • sliding bait loop.

This knot fits well from mono-wood and braid. Can be used on various types of crochet hooks.

Instructions for implementation:

  1. Take the line and fold it in half so that the tails of the line are parallel to the blade of the hook.
  2. We make a small loop, leaving the tip of the line about 15 cm long.
  3. We attach a hook to the end of the fishing line, so that its tip is parallel, we press it with our fingers.
  4. Then, with the working end of the fishing line, we begin to wrap the forend of the hook several times.
  5. We carefully thread the end of the line into the resulting loop, moisten it with saliva or water and cut off all excess.

An example of making a "trombone loop" from V. Nikolaev

Outer loop or trombone loop knot
The only rule when making this type of knot is that the tighter you pull the line, the stronger the knot will be.

5. The best knots for connecting hook and swivels

Before considering the most reliable fishing knots in this category, we note that we do not recommend tying fishing line to hooks, or rings made of a thinner material (wire) than the line itself, this will negatively affect the quality and reliability of the knot.

Palomar or palomar knot
Application area:

  • a bunch of main fishing thread with;
  • for tying fishing line and hook;
  • for attaching a weight, etc .;
  • for attaching to a leash or fishing line.

Flaw- it is required to fold the line in half, which increases the knot in volume and shortens the leash.

Advantage of the node:

  • a bunch of not only lures, but also lures used both in spinning fishing and fishing with feeder tackle;
  • the ability to mount many elements of equipment (front sight, etc.);
  • easy to knit.

Classic Palomar

"Double Palomar" fits like this

Triple Palomar Node provides for the installation of fishing accessories and lures with a large eye to the braided line. This is how the knot fits

Palomar Drop Shot Node

Node "Clinch" or "improved clinch knot"
Consider two types of this node:

  • the clinch is normal;
  • the clinch is reinforced.

This knot is widely used, but it has proven itself especially positively in spinning fishing. The first version of the knot is used mainly for mounting sinkers, since it is inferior in strength to the "reinforced" knot, which even the most complex hooks cannot obey.

Scope of the site: artificial bait, weights, hooks, sinkers, feeders,.

Where such a node is not used:

  • for mounting sinkers with a transverse or longitudinal hole;
  • for mounting tubes and factory rings.

Important! The size of the ear of the above accessories should not be more than 1.2 mm, since the knot is not held securely on diameters above the indicated indicator.

Homer knot or homer knot

The knot knot pattern is shown in detail in this video.

Grinner knot or universal Uni knot
This knot is also known as "Yuni" or ukni not. Uni stands for universal.

What is knitted with a universal knot:
Node "Eight"
This fishing knot is designed for attaching hooks with or without an eye. It is also suitable for making movable loops, tying feeders, sinkers,. In short, it has wide application and can be used everywhere.

It is not difficult to perform and is suitable for novice anglers.

This knot can have several weaving options, for example, by folding the fishing line in two, you get a double eight.

6. How to knot knots for wobblers

Before you start attaching to the line, you need to keep in mind that some of the small wobblers are very delicately balanced and any extra fishing accessory (leash, fastener) can significantly affect the game of the bait. Therefore, for each you need to choose your own method of attachment to the fishing line.

Tight loop or homer-rhode loop knot

The knitting of this knot can be applied not only to the fastener.

Rapala knot or rapala knot
A knot recommended by the bait manufacturer itself.

Node "With a blind loop" or "compound knot"
This knitting method is not suitable for lines with small diameters. Better to use braids, kevlar or fluorocarbon leads.

  1. The knot does not like strong (excessive) tightening, since it is in such a "tightened" state that it weakens.
  2. If you don't wet the knot, you will get a break.
  3. The knot may loosen and the line may slip out if not tightened enough.
  4. Unties can occur due to a too short line tip that is cut after the knot is made. Always leave a small piece of line.
  5. In order to tie the leash as efficiently as possible, immerse it in warm water, so it warms up and becomes more elastic.

7. QUICK UNITS

Decoupling simple knot(fig. 91). This knot serves well as a simple stopper, which can be quickly released even under the tension of the cable. When you pull at the running end, it will instantly untie. It can be used in all cases when you need to temporarily fasten something in such a way that the rope can be released at any moment.


Rice. 91. Untied simple knot

Unleashing Eight(fig. 92). If an ordinary figure eight (see Fig. 3) is made with a loop, that is, pass the double-folded running end into its last loop, then we will get a good quick-release stopper.


Rice. 92. The Unleashing Eight

Untied running simple knot(fig. 93). A running simple knot (see Fig. 82) can be easily turned into a quick-release knot without changing its function, i.e. using it as a running knot, not as a quickly untied knot. To do this, you need to enter the running end, folded in half, into its loop. In this case, it will have two properties at once - it will tighten and quickly untie if you pull on the running end sticking out of the loop. With the help of this knot, it is possible to moor the boat to the coastal bar in such a way that, if necessary, the halyard can be given away without leaving the boat by pulling on the running end, which is left long enough. This is a very common knot. In any case, all over the world, it is with them that horses are tied by the bridle to the leash. To prevent the knot from accidentally untied, the end of the bridle is pushed into the loop (Fig. 93. b).

Reef knot(fig. 94). It got its name from the word “reef-line” - a small end of the cable tied into the sail cloth, with which they “took the reefs”, that is, they tied the part of the sail that was tied to the luff of the sail or to the boom in order to reduce its area in a strong wind ... On large sailing ships with direct rigging, the reefs were taken with the help of reef seasons - the flat ends of the cable, with which they tied the luff of the sail to the reef line. The reef-tsggerts were contacted in such a way that at any moment, if necessary, they could be untied or, as the sailors say, “ripped apart”. For this purpose, the reef knot was used. It is very similar to a straight knot and is knitted in the manner shown in fig. 25, except that when knitting the second half-knot, its running end is threaded into the loop folded in half. When you pull at the running end, the knot is instantly untied.

In the maritime business, this knot is used to tie the strings of the canvas covers of lifeboats, winches, compasses and other devices on the upper navigation open bridge.

This knot is commonly known as “Knot with one bow”. He is familiar to everyone, many tie their shoelaces on their shoes. In principle, this is a simple and useful site.

Double reef knot(fig. 95). It is sometimes referred to as a file node. But sailors hardly use it: a reef knot is enough for a temporary bundle of strings and other ends. In the dictionary of Vladimir Dahl, it is called "Looped knot" and "Burdock (bow)". Often they call him and byte node... It is knitted in the same way as a straight knot, but in the second semi-knot the running ends of the cable are tied folded in half. It is an indispensable knot for tying shoe laces, ropes, bows around the neck and bows in the hair, as well as on bundles and boxes.

Untie weaving knot(fig. 96). An excellent weaving knot is a “brother” to the clew knot. It can be improved if the running end of the cable is passed under the root cable folded in half. At the same time, it will hold just as securely, but at any moment it can be untied, even under tension.

Kalmyk knot(fig. 97). It is one of the practical and reliable knots. Its name speaks of how it appeared in our country. And although the Kalmyk steppes do not evoke associations with the sea and ships, it has long been used in the navy. Foreign sailors do not know him, and, oddly enough, he does not appear in any of the numerous knot knitting manuals published abroad.

In fig. 97, a schematic diagram of the knitting of a Kalmyk knot is given, which shows only the relative position of the ends of the cable relative to each other. In practice, this beautiful knot is knitted almost instantly in the following way.

Put the running end of the cable behind the object and take it, slightly stepping back from the end, from above with your left hand with your thumb towards you. With your right hand, place the root end over the left fist, in which the running end is already clamped, and make a full turn around the root end of the cable. Then, with the movement of your left hand, move the root end under the root of the large loop while simultaneously sweeping the running end around the same part of the cable and then intercepting the running end with the fingers of your left hand. After that, carefully pull the running end in the form of a loop through the root end hose on the left hand (by dropping the hose) so that the running end does not straighten, and tighten the knot with the root end.

The Kalmyk knot holds securely and is quickly untied if pulled by the running end. It is used for temporary attachment of the throwing end to the mooring line when the latter is fed from the ship to the berth. It is used to attach the reins to the bridle, as well as to tie the horse in the stable. If the running end, not folded in half, is passed into the loop of the Kalmyk knot, then the knot will not be a quick-release knot. In this form, it is called Cossack knot.

Untied self-tightening knot(fig. 98). If a running end folded in a loop is passed into the loop of this knot, then the knot will still retain its main property, but if desired, it can be quickly untied. To do this, you just need to pull the running end.



Rice. 98. Untied self-tightening knot

Dinghy knot(fig. 99). It is used when towing boats and during their stay under a shot at the side of the ship only in those cases when there are people in them. First, the running end of the halyard is passed into the bow of the boat eye, then under the first can, then it is carried over from above around the second can, the end is brought out above the cable and again led under the can, then the end of the halyard is folded in the form of a loop and put under the hose made on top of the can. The boat knot is easily untied by pulling on the running end of the halyard lying on the bank.

Mill unit(fig. 100). Among the many clever knots for tying bags, this knot is considered one of the most common. In principle, this is the same figure eight, into the second loop of which the double-folded running end is skipped. The knot is very convenient in that it can be tightened tightly and quickly untied by pulling on the running end.

"Wet" half bayonet(fig. 101). Many knots are difficult to loosen when wet. It often happens that, in the literal sense of the word, you have to cut the ends. It was for this situation that the sailors came up with a site called “wet half-bayonet”. It is used for attaching halyards and mooring lines for bollards, bollards and biters. It is designed for strong traction and quick recoil. No matter how tight the knot is tightened and at the same time it gets wet, you can always quickly give it away.


Rice. 101. "Wet" half-bayonet

Courier node(fig. 102). It serves the same purpose as a wet half-bayonet. After one run around the pallet, the running end is passed with a figure eight around the root end, then it is folded in half and inserted in a loop between the figure eight loops and the root end. This knot is not untied as quickly as the previous one.



Rice. 102. Courier node

Bucket node(fig. 103). Imagine that a climber needs to descend a rope from a height down. He walks alone and has only one rope that he still needs. What can be done to, having descended from a height, take away the rope with you? It is very simple: the rope must be secured with a bucket knot, go down along its root end and jerk at the long running end to untie the knot tied at the top. With this "remote untie" knot, you can lower a bucket of water out of the window of your house, for example, place it on the ground and bring the rope up again.

Pirate knot(fig. 104). The principle of this knot is the same as that of the bucket knot. The only difference is that the loop is drawn differently.

Climbers, firefighters and construction workers can use these two original knots.

To tie a tie correctly and beautifully is a whole art. The beauty of a knot depends not only on its appearance: Murrell, Pratt, Kent, etc., but is determined by the texture of the tie material and the model of the shirt collar itself.

For example, a tight, lined tie will not work for a neat, tight knot. the design will be too cumbersome. Intricate knots look perfect only on fine silk.

Click on the tie you like, and you will see a step-by-step tying scheme with photo and video instructions.

Features of the nodes

The type of knot is determined by the shirt collar model and the tie material. Let's see for which node this or that sample is suitable.

Simple small knot "Kent"

The easiest way to tie your own tie is to make a small knot. It will turn out to be correct if you tie the tie directly over the shirt. The small knot is also called the Kent knot. It is better to create it from sufficiently dense fabrics, such a material will give it volume.

The advantages of the knot are evident for short ties. A "modest" knot does not require significant end length. This option is chosen for products made from very thick fabrics. Otherwise, you simply cannot tie them, they will bulge ugly.

"Van Wijk"

This is a good choice if the collar of the shirt has buttons or rivets. You can also wear a tie with an Italian-style collar.

This knot is one of the most unusual. It can be compared to a spiral or a cylinder, since the wide end is circled three times around the thin one, creating beautiful folds.

"Kelvin"

This is a very elegant, fairly tight knot with clear symmetry. Its density is increased by several turns of the wide end around the already formed knot.

The design feature is that the knot is actually tied with a seam outward. This is not visible on the finished sample, since, according to the rules, the shape of the resulting knot should fit exactly into the neckline of the shirt collar. It will fit perfectly with a Kent collar.

"Quarter"

The knot is versatile and quite common. Making it is as easy as tying a small knot. The result is a somewhat asymmetrical tapered version. It is suitable for shirts with classic, medium and wide collars.

Murrell

Murrell looks like an inverted knot, as the narrow end will end up on top of the wide one. This creates the effect of a double-layered tie, which looks very impressive. The knot itself is symmetrical and has a strict triangular shape. It is suitable for shirts with wide and soft collar ends.

"Balthus"

This is one of the largest tie knots. It has the shape of a volumetric cone. Tie it on a tie with long ends. If you neglect the scheme and tie it inaccurately, the knot will turn out to be sloppy. Ends made of thin material are easier to handle.

This method of tying a tie is ideal for short men, as the ends will be of the optimal length. For tall men, the tie will end up too short.

In any case, this method of tying a tie assumes that you immediately leave the narrow end shorter than usual, otherwise you simply have nothing to form a voluminous knot.

"Balthus" wide enough knot is suitable for collars like "Kent". A classic shirt with such a tie also looks harmonious.

Trinity

This is one of the most unusual knots. The finished form is similar in appearance to the pagan symbol "Tricvert". You need to tie it with a narrow end. It takes skill and practice. It may not work the first time to create a neat knot.

You can wear a tie knotted in such an unusual way with wide and medium-sized collars with buttons.

Prince Albert

It is good to knit such a knot on a narrow tie. Its shape is somewhat asymmetric. The double loop of the knot gives it extra volume. To make the shape stricter, the knot must be tightly tightened. This will give the tie a business-like feel. It is important in this case that the inner loop looks out from below.

"Prince Albert" is suitable for shirts with a long collar or a collar with buttons.

"Windsor"

It is both an effective and elegant knot. Its size can be changed by varying the position of the wide and narrow ends of the tie.

Such a versatile way to tie a tie is suitable for many shirts, it looks especially impressive with an Italian collar, the angle of "smile" of which is 180 °.

"Half-Windsor"

The finished knot must be symmetrical. It should be located clearly in the center of the neck. Otherwise, it needs to be bandaged. At the final stage, it is desirable to create a dimple on the knot. It looks especially impressive on wide ties with a thick base. This method allows you to keep the shape of the knot for a long time.

It is suitable for collars with divorced ends: classic, Kent.

"Pratt"

Tie a tie in this way with the wrong side out. You should get a voluminous knot. This option is usually chosen for short, filled ties.

It is good for shirts with a narrow collar.

Eldridge

This is another unusual knot. You need to knit it with a narrow end. The result is a rather impressive and very beautiful knot, of course, if everything is done carefully and according to the rules. He is whimsical in his sock, as he blooms all the time.

Not all shirts will fit this kind of knot. It is necessary to choose shirts in which the collars have soft tips with a fairly wide "smile".

"Butterfly"

This option is chosen for official meetings and commemorative celebrations. It is an integral part of a well-thought-out evening dress. Depending on the occasion and your taste, the bow of the butterfly can be tied in different ways using the "Bat" or "Distel" technique.

Silk butterflies made of printed material are usually worn during the day. The main thing is not to take too dense fabric to create a butterfly. It is customary to use cotton butterflies for tailcoats and tuxedos. The shirt must have a turn-down collar. You can create a bow tie knot from a special pattern with notches.

This article will tell you in detail about the most popular tie knots, their types and methods of tying.

Believe it or not, there are about 85 types of tie knots.

Although, men most often use only four methods: the Windsor knot, "Half Windsor", Four-In-Hand and Pratt.

To expand our horizons with you, below it will be shown in detail in the photo and video how to tie the knot you like.

17 types of the most popular tie knots

Before you start studying the material, remember that in honor of this attribute of clothing, an unspoken holiday "" is celebrated every year, and see the knot tying technique itself.

1. Node Four-In-Hand. Also known as Simple Tie Knot, Quadruple Tie Knot, Italian Tie Knot.

UNITS, PURPOSE AND APPLICATION

The knotting technique dates back to time immemorial. The oldest knots have been found in Finland and date back to the Neolithic (Late Stone Age). Undoubtedly, the knots were twisted by people before, but, unfortunately, they have not survived.

Flexible materials were the main fastening aid, working with which a person created labor products, weapons and various devices. The ability to knot knots is one of the main things a survivalist needs after BP and in ordinary life.

Nodes sorted alphabetically

1. Austrian guide (bergschaft, butterfly, alpine bloodworm, bee, riding loop) - a knot that forms a fixed loop in the middle of the rope. It is used as an intermediate point of support or hitch, support for blocks. With the help of this knot, you can easily tie up the damaged section of the rope. Extremely reliable and can be loaded at an angle to the main direction of force. Has two ways of knitting. Dangerous mistakes: loosely tightened, tightened too much, large loop.

2. Academic- a complicated kind of direct knot. It is used for tying two ropes of different diameters. Under heavy load, it does not tighten as tightly as a straight knot and is easier to untie. Requires the use of control nodes.

3. Academic dressing - a complicated type of academic site. Suitable for attaching to a rope with a larger diameter, two ropes of smaller diameters. * 1994

4. Shark- a complex knot designed exclusively for knitting on synthetic lines. Differs in great durability.

5. Amphora- knitted with a thin rope or cord on the neck of the vessel in order to facilitate its carrying by the formed handles. For tying on the neck of a household glass jar, a 1.3 m cord is enough. Used in ancient times.

6. English(anchor bayonet, fishing bayonet) - a fishing knot, reinforced with a half bayonet. It is used for tying boats and light anchors, as well as for lifting cargo. Reliable under constant tension. With a variable nature of the load, safety knots or fastening are required. When completed, it is often reinforced with a gazebo knot.

7. English pigtail (monkey chain) - auxiliary knot (weaving). In tourist practice, it is used for organizing a pendulum crossing, climbing small plumb lines of 2 - 4 m. The main application is a temporary shortening of the cable (from 4 m of the cable, 1 m of pigtails is obtained).

8. Apocryphal - decorative knot. The drawing of this knot was used as a headpiece in ancient Russian handwritten texts - apocryphal (secret, intimate).

9. Arcanum(lasso, honda) - a knot that forms a tightening loop at the end of the rope. It has been used since ancient times by nomadic peoples. Until now, this type of loop is used by cowboys in Mexico and the southern states of the United States.

10. Armenian(half-bayonet) - the knot is used for auxiliary knitting on the support thread. Made on the basis of a simple node. Used in macrome weaving technique.

11. Babiy(direct false) is a primitive knot that has firmly taken root in our life as a universal one. Incorrect knitting of a straight knot. Throughout the history of mankind, its use has caused many troubles and even claimed many human lives. Abroad it is called "grandmother's", "stupid", "calf", "false". Self-unties under load. It is strictly prohibited for use as a working node.

12. Bow(Austrian cockade) - drop knot. Usually tied on shoe laces, packaging and decorative ribbons. When not too tight, it self-dissolves under load.

13. Bachmann- a knotted combination of a re-cord with a carabiner on the main rope. The advantage over the prusik lies in the simpler way to move along the support. To do this, just slide your thumb into the carabiner. At the same time, it is possible to stir the grab on the rope or hold on to the rung of the cable ladder. In the event of a break, the Bachmann knot protects against falling. Knits on single and double ropes.

14. Butterfly double - suitable for knitting a double conductor (two fixed loops) in the middle of the rope. * 1993

15. Running arbor (running bowline) - forms a lingering loop. It is rarely used instead of a stranglehold. Holds well under variable loads. In the maritime business, it is used to catch driftwood, they look for and raise the Admiralty anchors left at the bottom.

16. Running idle - the simplest knot forming a tightening loop. When pulling on the root end, the loop is tightened, but it can be increased in size by pulling the running end away from the loop. The control node is required.

17. Gazebo- a kind of bowline knot that forms a fixed loop. Of all the methods of tying cables made of various materials (hemp and steel, Dacron and Manila), the connection with the help of two arbor knots with loops will be the most reliable, It is the basis of the chest harness. Of the several knitting methods, the most rational one allows you to tie a knot with one hand, with one continuous movement of the hand for 2-3 seconds. Reduces the average strength of nylon rope by 44%.

18. Gazebo double (boatswain, military, loopback) - a knot that forms a double loop both in the middle and at the end of the cable. Does not allow you to adjust the size of the loops after tightening the knot. It is used as a gazebo, as well as for overlaying loops on the whip.

19. Gazebo with a post (pins with a post) - a knot used for mooring boats to the mooring rings.

20. Gazebo Russian - an auxiliary knot forming two fixed loops. It is used as a gazebo. Similar to a Spanish knot. Requires much more rope to complete, although somewhat easier than Spanish.

21. Biteng- knot. It is used for mooring small boats.

24. Towing- knot. Used to mount on a towing hook or bitten. They are delayed or bleed off the towing end.

25. Bowline- called the "king of nodes". The name comes from the English term (The Bowline), meaning a tackle that pulls the windward leech of the lower sail. It was known to the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians for 3000 years BC. Despite its amazing compactness, it contains elements of a simple, half-bayonet, weaving and straight knots. Elements of all these nodes in a certain combination give the bowline the right to be called universal. The main advantage is the ease of tying and untying after unloading. The tied bowline has two free ends. Only the one that forms an overlapped, and not a simple loop at the knot should be loaded. This knot is used for harnesses and gazebos (see arbor knot) in the event that they are tied from a cords or double lines of a cargo parachute. A simple bowline requires fixation with a control knot, as it tends to bloom. In all cases, the bowline must be tightened. The knot reduces the average strength of the rope within 45.9-49.0% (with a dry rope - 79.1 - 81.0%, wet - 76.9 - 78.1%; frozen - 54.1-58.6% of the strength of the rope without node). Dangerous mistakes: very loosely tightened; very tight; long free end of the rope - dangerous weave loops; the loop of the knot is not laid correctly - too short or long loops.

26. Bowline double - used to connect parts of the fall arrest system. This knot can be tied in the middle of the rope, for example, when reinsurance of the main line support (rope) with an additional support. The knot reduces the average strength of the rope within 45, 3 - 17.2% (on a dry rope - 80.0 - 82.8%, wet - 78.7 - 80.6%, frozen - 54.7 - 60.5%). Dangerous errors: the same as for the bowline node.

27. Burlatskaya loop (harness loop, pushkar knot) - a knot that forms a non-tightening loop. Designed for the use of effort in any direction. It can be easily tied both at the end of the cable and at its middle. Several knots tied together form a ladder to climb up a free hanging support. Dangerous mistakes: loose knots. Under an abruptly applied load, the loose knot tends to roll over and slide along the cable for some time.

28. Webeleiten- drop knot knot. The image of Webeleiten's knot is found in the Falconier nautical reference book (18th century).

29. Bucket- self-resetting unit. Holds under load, after temporary removal of the load it disintegrates. With its help, you can lower objects with a handle from a height.

30. Camel- the knot is used to attach a thin rope to another, thicker one. Serves well for traction at any angle.

31. Water- knot for firm connection of two cables of the same diameter. Tightens under heavy load. It is very difficult to untie it. The first image of this node dates back to 1496.

32. Military(Portuguese) - A type of gazebo unit. Allows you to adjust the size of the loops when planting a person.

33. Thieves' knot (villainous) - looks like a straight line, but the running ends come out of it diagonally. This site is not recommended as it is unreliable. In the English Navy, he was tied on a duffel bag to prove the fact of theft. The thieves, mostly recruits, tied the robbed sack with a straight knot or with a villainous knot that violated the upper and lower positions of the running ends.

34. Eight(Savoyard) - stop knot. It is used for fastening in narrow holes (for example, when using a snap hook without a carabiner). For vertical descents - as a belay at the end of the rope. Equivalent knots are obtained when knitting from both the left and right directions. Reliable enough and easy to untie. It has long been considered a symbol of melancholy or sad love. Became famous as the motto of the House of Savoy. Used in weaving macrome. The knot reduces the average strength of the rope by about 20%.

137. Pythons(masons, oceanic) - the knot is used to tie two cross bars. It can be used to build a fence. The connections will be stronger than nails.

138. Flat(Josephine's knot) - a knot characterized by symmetry. It is used for tying ropes and hummocks of different diameters. It is tied correctly if the ends to be joined are intertwined with each other in a strict sequence, in other words, go through one under one. The name comes from the French language. In the old days, they were tied with ties, sashes, decorative elements of military uniforms. Theoretically, it can be tied in different ways, there are a large number of options, this is its danger. Practice shows that not every knot from this number is tied according to the principle of a flat knot and will be held securely. In the absence of control knots, the flat knot changes its shape under heavy load and is difficult to untie.

145. Polish- a knot used for tying thin cables.

146. Portuguese Gazebo - a knot, which, if necessary, replace a real gazebo.

147. Guide (oak loop) - forms a fixed loop at the end of the rope. In tourism practice, it is used to fasten a cable with a carabiner. It is not recommended to use it in the middle of the rope because of the significant weakening at the location of the knot and the great difficulty in untying it after the load is applied. There are two known knitting methods: a loop and one end. The knot reduces the average dry rope strength by 78.3 - 80.75%; when wet - by 75.9 - 78.35%; when frozen - 52.2 - 57.3%. Dangerous mistakes: very loosely tightened; very tight; very long free end.

148. Simple Brand - a method of protecting the end of the cable from unraveling.

150. Simple(ordinary) - an elementary, universal unit. In ancient times it was called "kalach". The old Russian name has been preserved for baked pastries rolled up in the form of this knot. Depending on how it is tied, a simple knot can be left or right. The left knot ("through the hand") was considered a symbol of a well-fed life. It is used as a safety device at the running ends of the cables. Tourists call this knot "bayonet" - from the garbled English "stack". When tightened in the middle of the rope, it greatly weakens the rope and untied with great difficulty, therefore it is not recommended to use it on working ropes. If it is possible to untie the tightened knot, then the weakened place on the rope remains. The knot reduces the average strength of nylon rope to 63%, tyrylene rope - by 55%; polypropylene - by 57%.

151. Direct(Hercules) - auxiliary unit. It is used for tying ropes of the same thickness with little traction. It is considered correct when the ends of each rope run parallel and together, and the root ends are directed directly opposite each other. Tends to self-untie when the rope is loaded. Tying two ropes of different diameters with a straight knot is prohibited, since a thin rope tears a thick one under load. Control nodes are required at both ends. Differs in symmetry. Used in macrame weaving technique. Reduces the average strength of nylon rope by approximately 63%; terylene - by 55%.

152. Prusik(Prusik's knot) - tied with a re-cord with a diameter of 6 - 7 mm around 9 - 14 mm of the main rope. As he goes up or down, he moves by hand. In the event of a fall, the prusik is tightened on a safety rope and protects it from falling. Triggered by loads in any direction. In addition to belaying, the prusik can be applied directly when climbing the rope. Works poorly on wet and icy supports. Reduces the average strength of the rope in the range of 46.9 - 26.55 (with a dry rope - 69.1 - 73.5%; with a wet rope - 67.3 - 70.4%; with a frozen one - 53.1 - 54.3%). Dangerous mistakes: the second turn goes in the opposite direction in relation to the first; the ends of the turns of the auxiliary rope do not go out from the middle of the knot; knitted from a rope with a larger diameter than the diameter of the supporting one.

153. Drunk- a knot forming two tightening loops. When the running and root ends are pulled, the loops are tightened. When a load is applied to the hinges, the knot is unraveled.

154. Rogue- dropping node. They were tied to the rein of a horse. The principle is the same as for the villainous and pirate knots.

155. The Unleashing Eight - good quick release knot.

156. Unleashing Running Simple - a common node. Possesses the properties of a tightening and quick release knot. It is with this knot that the horse's bridle is tied to the hitching post.

157. Unleashing Simple - the simplest locking knot that can be quickly released even when the cable is taut.

158. Weber's Unleashing (untied clew, untied weaving) - derived from the clew knot. It received its name in 1794. Easily discharged under load.

159. Versatile - derived from the bowline node. The running ends are directed in different directions. Serves for tying two ropes of the same diameter.

160. Reef- a complicated kind of direct knot. Easy to drop knot. It is used for tying ropes of the same diameter with little traction. If necessary, securing the rope in the carabiner under load is simply irreplaceable. Easy to knit and untie under significant load, holds firmly on dry and ice-free ropes. Reduces the average strength of the rope within 46, 5 - 20.5% (with a dry rope - 74.8 - 79.5%; with a wet rope - 72.9 - 77.8%; with a frozen rope - 53.5 - 57.2 %). Dangerous mistakes: the ends are not connected in the direction of the long ropes, individual loops are poorly tied.

161. Reef double - a sophisticated type of reef knot. Reduces the average strength of the rope within 45.0 - 20.0% (with a dry rope - 76.0 - 80.0%; with a wet rope - 70.4 - 79.6%; with a frozen one - 55.0 - 58.1 %).

162. Roller- a combination of a simple knot and a multiple figure eight. The knot is used to tie a leash onto a fishing line.

163. Fishing Loop (English loop, fishing light) - a knot used by anglers. It is used by sailors instead of a factory fire. When tightening, the knots must be brought closer together.

164. Ryndbulin- the method of weaving in four strednyi (crosses are applied, alternating the left and right directions of the weaves).

165. Self-tightening - the simplest form of a stranglehold from a simple knot. It must be used with great care. It holds only when it is tied around a log and a constant force is applied to the root end. With this knot, bags of grain or cereals are suspended in warehouses in order to save them from rodents. By pulling the running end of the cable down from under the clamp and letting go, the suspended bag can be smoothly lowered.

166. Self-tightening with half-bayonet - seldom used self-tightening knot. More reliable than the previous one.

167. Bead(pile) - fastening unit. Used when you need to transfer a tool that has a handle, working up or down from the feeder. This knot is used to attach a temporary rope fence to posts or stakes. Used in macrame.

168. Swastik- decorative knot.

169. Bayonets (sesen) - sea knot. It is used for lashing the retracted sails on the tank to the rails, on the gaff and on the boom. With the same knots, the sails are reliably laced to the spar through the eyelets on the luffs.

170. Silkovy- tightening loop. The knot is considered one of the smoothest and easiest to tighten. A snare made from horsehair or the thinnest nylon line with such a knot works flawlessly.

171. Scout(Baden-Poveyala) - an auxiliary knot, used to tie four poles in the construction of a hut or wigwam.

172. Sliding Eight - highly tightening loop. Tightens smoothly and evenly when pulling on the root end.

173. Sliding blind loop - used for tying bales, bundles and other packages.

174. Furrier- knot designed for heavy loads. Serves for tying synthetic ropes and lines. Tightens tightly, but untied without much difficulty.

175. The Perfect Loop (angler's loop) - a knot that forms a fixed loop at the end of the cable. Non-slip even on the thinnest synthetic line. Known since 1870.

176. Sleepy- the knot can be used to connect two cables of the same diameter. After removing even a very heavy load, it is easily untied. * 1996

177. Union- a combination of two "eternal knots" ("knots of happiness"). Revered as a symbol of marriage. It has been known since the 3rd millennium BC.

178. Stem- auxiliary node. It is used for tying ropes of the same diameter. Reliable and easy to untie. A kind of herbal knot. * 1997

179. Stealing- knot. It is used for fixing the board as a hanging bench or temporary bench.

180. Stevedoring- a locking unit of significant size. When tightening this knot, care must be taken that the hoses at the root end do not twist and slip into the loop. A tightened knot is easier to untie by pulling on the loop that is closer to the root end. The knot is best known for the knot tying manual issued in the 19th century by the American cable company, Stinidore Ropes.

181. Stop- used for attaching one rope to another under load, to transfer the load to another fastening device. Preferred bayonet. Untied faster and easier. When working with a rope under load, speed is often critical to the success of the entire operation.

182. Stopper Gondobina - a knot with an equal number of loops and hoses. A sophisticated version of a simple knot. Three loops and three hoops increase the size compared to one loop and one hoop, which allows you to securely fix the rope in fairly wide holes.

183. Stopper movable - sequential combination of two nodes. Serves for tying a thin line to cables and other tensioned cables.

184. Stepped- a knot resembling a tightening noose. Most reliably attaches the line to a forged fish hook without an eyelet.

185. Stratim- auxiliary symmetrical knot. Knits as a central support (musinga) on short lengths of rope. * 1997.

186. Stirrup- a universal auxiliary unit in combination with various supports. It is used as a support for the foot when climbing the main rope using self-grabs or grasping knots tied from a rope. Under heavy load, it grabs, but does not tighten. It differs from the knotted knot only in the method of knitting. The knot reduces the average rope strength by up to 40%. Dangerous mistakes: too many turns of the rope; two loops are not folded correctly.

187. Dusk- reliable knot for connecting two cables of the same diameter. Slightly weakens the strength of ropes. * 1997

188. Deadly- incorrect knitting of the weaving (fishing) knot. Creates the appearance of a knotted connection between two ropes.

189. Grasping- climbing knot. Easily moves along the main rope, with a light pull of the "lock". Loaded at both ends, securely grips (grips) the main rope. The working knot must be tied with a rope of a smaller diameter (repsnur) on a rope that is almost twice as large (main). The root end must always be in relation to the node on the side of the load application. Dangerous errors: the same as for the Prusik node.

190. Austrian Grasping Oblique - the knot has gripping properties. It must be knitted with a rope of a smaller diameter on a rope that is almost twice as large. The first description dates back to 1840.

191. Tarbuca- a node designed by Western tourists for cases of transferring heavy loads in parts.

192. Mother-in-law- a kind of woman's knot. It is strictly prohibited for use as a working node. Does not hold under load. It should never be used under any circumstances.

193. Mother-in-law- complicated design of the mother-in-law knot. It can be used for splicing cables of the same diameter. Mandatory requires preliminary tightening. * 1996

194. Weaving(fishing, loess, English) - a knot known since ancient times. It is used for splicing ropes of the same diameter with little traction. Control nodes on both sides are required. The knot reduces the average strength of the rope within 46.9 - 23.0% (with a dry rope - 73.4 - 77.0%; with a wet rope - 70.4 - 74,%; with a frozen rope - 53.1 - 54.1 %). Dangerous mistakes: the ends are not connected in the direction of the long ropes; individual loops are poorly tied.

195. Thomas(stupid Thomas) is a false knot that cannot hold anything together.

196. Top(non-tightening stirrup) - a knot used as a stirrup when lifting on grasping knots. Deprived of the drawback of a knotted knot (self-expansion when temporarily relieving the load). Easy to knit and then fits snugly around the leg.

197. Top Triple - an auxiliary grasping knot forming three loops. Tied at the end of a pole or log prepared for vertical installation as a mast or flagpole. Stretch marks are tied to the loops of the knot, and the root end serves as the fourth, to which the chassis is shortly knitted,

198. Top-end four-loop - an auxiliary knot forming four loops. Tied at the end of a pole or log prepared for vertical installation as a mast or flasto with four guy wires. All four stretch marks are tied to the stitches of the knot. * 1997

199. End- auxiliary node. Knits in the middle of the cable. Suitable for lifting loads. * 1998

200. Herbal- auxiliary node. It is used for tying flat slings or belts. Reliable and easy to untie. Has two ways of knitting.

201. Herbal Loop - a kind of non-tightening single loop. Just like the burlak and riding loop, it is designed for traction in any direction. Can be tied in the middle of the rope.

202. Transformer - auxiliary node. It can take three different forms. It transforms depending on which ends to jerk the already formed knot at.

203. Ladder(storm ladder) - a method of knitting a short suspended ladder. A ladder with a length of 2 m is knitted from a 12 m rope with a diameter of 12-14 mm.

208. Tuna- the best among all fishing knots designed for synthetic line.

209. Turkish- decorative knot. Often knitted with a double rope. The basis of the Turkish braid.

210. Stranglehold(Zimmermann) - used to fasten the cable to the supports, mainly trees or logs. It is reliable if the rope is constantly stretched (stretching, crossing). With a variable nature of the load, safety knots or fastening are required. Differs in the accuracy of fixation. It is used in optics when it is necessary to tie the thread to a strictly defined place. The knot reduces the average strength of the nylon rope by up to 45%; terylene - by 35%; polypropylene - by 43%.

211. Tightening stranglehold (gallows, Jack Kech) - a nautical knot, similar to a scaffold. Became notorious in connection with the name of the English executioner, who died in 1680. It is used when temporarily attaching a cable to objects floating in the water or a bitteng. This knot has an advantage over the noose with a half-bayonet: the running end cannot slip out of the loop. On sailboats, it was used to fasten the root ends of mars-sheets and mars-gits, when it was necessary to have these ends ready for recoil. The number of turns of the running end varies from 7 to 13.

212. Choke with half-bayonets (forest, log) - a knot tested by centuries of experience. Serves for the safe lifting of logs and logs. It always fits a little to the side from the middle of the log (pipe). The slack in the cable between the choke and half-bayonets before lifting should be taken out. Half-bayonets must be placed in the direction of the descent of the cable.

213. UIAA(Baumgartner) is a knot officially approved in 1971 by the decision of the International Mountaineering Union. It is used for dynamic belay through a climbing carabiner. Only used on soft, elastic rope. When inserting cable turns into the carabiner, the direction of a possible jerk is strictly taken into account.

214. Oyster- a locking unit of significant size. The peculiarity of knitting is two methods: tightening the running simple knot, the second tightening after passing the running end into the loop. If the knot is tightened in one go, it will not form correctly. Due to its symmetry, it is used for fastening the strings of musical instruments.

215. Ear- fishing universal knot for lines. The bond strength is reduced by 96%.

216. Earthe opposite is a fishing knot, a complicated way of attaching the fishing line to the eye of the tackle.

217. Earcheckpoint - a fishing hub. It is used for attaching large hooks. The bond strength is reduced by 85%.

218. Earwith a turn - a fishing knot for attaching the fishing line to the eye of the tackle. The bond strength is reduced by 96%.

219. Head- is considered a reliable knot for attaching a cable to a round spar tree.

220. Flemish(counter eight) - used for splicing ropes of the same diameter. Very reliable, therefore does not require a safety knot. Simply tied and untied. Has two ways of execution.

221. Van- knot, the main knitting element resembling a gazebo knot. It is used in cases when it is required to pull the cable with a gain of twice in strength.

222. Franciscan - knot for weighting the end of the cable. Popular in sailing for mooring lines. In the past, Franciscan monks tied these knots at the ends of the waist ropes.

223. French Blocker (French stranglehold) - climbing knot. It is used as a reliable self-belay on a vertical support.

224. French Top - knot. Forms two loops and two ends on the mast of the vessel for attaching three tackles of standing rigging.

228. Czech- a new node. Used to connect three ropes of the same diameter.

229. Four-loop - symmetrical decorative knot.

230. Articulated- auxiliary node. It can be used for tying ropes, both different and of the same diameter.

231. Miners'- simple, reliable knot. Holds well under constant load. Used to attach a rope to a round pole.

232. The Swiss Guide (figure eight double, Flemish loop) - forms a loop at the end of the rope. Used for fastening with a climbing carabiner. Deprived of the drawbacks of the node named "conductor". In addition to easy tying, it has increased strength (by about 10%) compared to many other knots. There are two ways of knitting - a loop and one end.

233. Shkotovy- a knot found in ancient Egyptian drawings. Designed for tying ropes or ropes of different thicknesses with little traction. Reduces the average strength of nylon rope by up to 47%, terylene rope by 51%, and polypropylene rope by 59%.

234. Hose with a loop(boat) - auxiliary, simplest unit. Easily untied after unloading. It is used as a temporary fastening of the rope to objects under very moderate loads.

235. Bobbin- knot for attaching the thread to the bobbin and the line to the turret.

236. Bayonet double straight (overlapped fishing bayonet) - knot for pulling the cable. It is used when it is necessary to provide a diagonal or horizontal movement of a person or a load along a tightly stretched railing. It is used to guide stretch marks.

237. Inverted Bayonet - auxiliary node. Serves for tying a rope to an object. The running end after the second peg goes in the opposite direction and, as a result, the knot is stretched.

238. Simple Bayonet- auxiliary node. Under load, it weakens the rope greatly and is untied with great difficulty. If it is possible to untie the tightened knot, then the weakened place on the rope remains. It is not recommended to use it on working ropes. Reduces the average strength of nylon rope by up to 63%; tyrilenova - by 55%; polypropylene - by 57%.

239. Retractable bayonet (mast bayonet) - reliable knot under constant load. Used to attach rope to poles, mainly trees or logs. With a variable nature of the load, it must be supplemented with a safety node.

240. Bayonet with a hose - a kind of simple bayonet. It is used for fastening ropes, mainly for trees or logs. Reliable under constant load (stretching, crossing). With a variable nature of the load on the rope, belay knots or fastening are required. It is used extremely rarely as a working node.

241. Reverse bayonet - auxiliary node. It is used when mooring ships, as well as for attaching the cable to objects, when the end of the cable is very difficult to wrap around a fell or a log. It is used for tying a cable to a towbar of some car brands.

242. Mast bayonet - a combination of two knots. So that the knot does not turn out to be tightening, the knot is not completely tightened.

246. Flag- an auxiliary dropping node. The signal flag, folded and tied with a halyard, is raised and, at the right time, is dismissed and fastened. The flags of solidarity and maritime etiquette are never raised in this way.

247. Tatting(eyelet) - exclusively an auxiliary support unit. Reliable under tension. The root end must always be in relation to the node on the side of the load application. It is used in the navy, using the macrame weaving technique. It got its name from old handicrafts - frevrolite or shuttle lace.

248. Eskimo Loop - a knot forming a non-tightening loop. The Eskimos used this loop to attach the string to the bow. The buttonhole can be resized after the knot has already been tied.

249. Scaffold(lynch knot) - an auxiliary knot that forms a tightening loop.

250. Ashley(Ashley knot, constricting) - auxiliary knot. It is not distributed after it has been tightened, it holds securely without additional tightening. It is used for tying bags, sailing bags (kitties), for imposing a stamp or a hurried season.

251. Southern Cross(sea cross) - a knot forming three loops and two ends around a round support. It was used in the old days for the same purposes as the top one. Sailors worship this knot as a talisman.

252. Yufersny- knot. Used for fastening in narrow holes. It is used in emergency situations. It is fixed in cracks or crevices of rocks when descending from plumb lines. Tied as a belay at the end of the rope. Reliable enough and easy to untie. In the sailing fleet, this knot was tied at the end of a lanyard to secure the latter in the hole of the yuffer.

253. Yampol- a knot forming fixed loops both in the middle and at the end of the cable. With a repetitive knitting technique, you can get from one to four or more equivalent loops, while maintaining the unity of the nodal structure. * 1998
