How To Tie a Half Hitch Knot 
Howcast Version. This is the Howcast written version of this Wiki Guide. If you can improve it, show us your stuff by editing the latest revision.
Think of the Half Hitch as a starter knot—it won’t support a lot of strain, but it’s easily tightened and loosened and forms the base for many more complicated knots.
You Will Need
- A single length of rope
- Something to hitch to, such as a post, pole, or ring
Step 1: Pass end of rope
Pass the end of the rope up through the ring from below.
Step 2: Bring behind other end
Bring it down and behind the remaining end—or “standing part”—of the rope.
Step 3: Pass end through loop
Bring the end back up and pass it through the eye of the loop you’ve just formed.
Step 4: Tighten
Pull it tight to complete the Half Hitch.
The Half Hitch is basically an Overhand Knot tied around an object.
