The clove hitch is a quick and easy knot to tie especially
when you can pop it over the end of what you're tying on to. It's easy to
untie even after a load has been applied.
Step #1
Make two loops, twisted in opposite directions.
Step #2
Place the left loop under the left part of the right
loop, to form a hole.
Step #3
Pop the hole over the end of the object you're tying
on to (in this case a barely-visible dowel rod).
