	Surgical Knot Tying Guide
		The square knot consists of two mirror-image half hitches, one placed on the other; in contrast to a granny knot, which is made of two identical half hitches.
		The first half is made by crossing the ligature segments; the second by putting the free end through the loop made by the crossing.
		The fact that this first half hitch of the one-handed knot has an alternate method is a clue that it is hard to do and is less controlled than the second mirror-image half hitch.

	Half Hitch - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
		Like most young men at the time, Hank Ketcham, who later became famous as the creator of Dennis the Menace, was a full-time military man. Unlike most, his job processing photos and drawing cartoons for the U.S. Navy left him with his evenings free.
		A former animator, first for Walter Lantz and later for Walt Disney, he used the time to freelance cartoons to civilian magazines, drawing inspiration from the institution he was immersed in by day.
		Half Hitch, a sort of Navy version of George Baker's Sad Sack, but without a name, ran a couple of years in The Saturday Evening Post, starting in 1943.

	fishSA.com - Baiting Hooks - Whole Pilchards with Twin Hooks [Tackle Talk - Hooks]
		One significant factor to keep in mind is, when inserting kirbed or offset hooks like suicides, ensure that the hooks face or point upwards towards the top of the pilchard.
		Securing the pilchard's tail with a half hitch acts as a slip knot, which supports the whole bait as it's cast, but pulls out as soon as enough pressure is applied to break thru the pilchard's thin tail wrist.
		Half hitching the tail also helps to keep the bait firm from potential "pickers".

	techniques - knot knowing
		Like the clove hitch, (see Nekton Archives), this hitch is also used for securing a rope to a spar, or to another rope under strain, when the pull is expected to be from one side or the other.
		An alternative to the round turn and two half hitches - and often used for bending a rope or hawser to the ring of an anchor - it is more suited to a jerking pull but will tend to jam and is not so easily cast off.
		An alternative to the Blackwall hitch - particularly if the rope is at all greasy - it is made by first forming a Blackwall hitch and then taking the underneath part and placing it over the bill of the hook.

	TreeBuzz Board: Half Hitch before Bowline
		The reason we're putting the Half Hitch before the Running Bowline is that the Half Hitch dissipates the load so that it is not the Running Bowline that is taking the full dynamic load, it is the Half Hitch that takes the initial load then it passes into the Running Bowline.
		If the half hitch is only 1' away from the block then there's going to be less force on the rope than for example if the bowline is say 5' away.
		With a half hitch, I tie it such that it is working in the same diretion as the running bowline, so that tightening the half hitch, both before cutting, and in the moment of catching, also tightens the running bowline.

	Half-Hitch - Definition of Half-Hitch - Horse Encyclopedia
		Technically not a knot but a hitch, used primarily to make other knots.
		Although easy and popular, it is not the safest knot to use with horses.

	Ring Hitch Knot History
		The half hitch, when made through fabric around a slit for the purpose of preventing the reeving of the cut threads, may be called a buttonhole knot (or stitch).
		The half hitch when made and turned (i.e., transferred to the carrier) is the true tatting knot.
		When an alternate pair of half hitches (an 'S' or left half hitch followed by a 'Z' or right half hitch) is made and transferred to the carrier, you have what looks like a ring hitch, but owing to the transfer, is a true tatting 'double knot or double stitch'.

	Hitches
		The Tarbuck Knot and the Tautline Hitch (Midshipman's Hitch) are also good slide-and-grip knots, but in my experience they are not as easy to dress and set as the Adjustable Grip Hitch, and they don't seem to grip as well.
		The Fisherman's Bend is actually a hitch, not a bend (a "bend" is a knot which is used to tie two ends of rope together, such as the Fisherman's Knot).
		This is a common hitch which is sometimes used in other hitches such as the Back Hand Hitch, the Clove Hitch, the Constrictor Knot, the Fisherman's Bend, and the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches.

	The Rolling Hitch (Taut Line Hitch)
		Description: The Rolling Hitch (ABOK # 1735, p 298) attaches a rope (usually smaller) to another (usually larger) when the line of pull is almost parallel.
		As soon as the the 'tuck' is made the knot is stable and functions as an "Awning Hitch" (picture on left, ABOK # 1798, p 304).
		Even as the second turn is tucked "up" into the correct place, the major strain is taken and the final half hitch can be tied with less urgency.

	Knot Knowledge - Tautline Hitch
		The Tautline Hitch is an adjustable knot that is commonly used for tensioning guy lines, such as on a tent.
		Since the Tautline Hitch is tied to its own standing part, the rope must be able to slide around the object it is secured to for it to be adjustable.
		This knot is known as the Rolling Hitch when, instead of being tied around its standing part, it is tied around another rope, spar, or cylindrical object.

		If you start the first half hitch with the bitter end passing away from you above the rope, then do the same with the next (and the next).

		If you tie the second half hitch in the opposite direction as the first, you will have two half hitches, but not a Double Half hitch.
