Hello there, I have a couple of pictures of a knot which I wanted to know the type.
I would be grateful if somebody help me in recognizing type of the knot.
I'd like to know how long the tied-together
lines are? (to help understand/figure how
the knot might've been tied)
The two ends come together and one makes
a trio of
half-hitches around the other --one
might call that a "
double clove hitch", the
clove = 2 and the +1 meriting the "double"
adjective,
then the two ends are joined in an overhand
knot --what would be an
offset water knot,
but in this case the loading isn't *offset*
given the channeling of the ends via the
half-hitches.
Which hitches cannot be cast over the OWK
(for then they'd become overhands), but must
be tied more tediously --hence my top question!
Thanks
