The figure-of-eight knot is named after its shape of "8". The figure-of-eight knot is mostly used in occasions with strong anti-slip. First, cross the rope ends. The rope ends bypass the main rope and pass through the rope loops. After winding twice, tighten them. The play is simple, and it is quite firm after molding. This is a classic knot play.

I. Introduction of other knots, as shown below:

1, half knot: half knot can be said to be the simplest way to play all knots. This knotting method is suitable for tying cylindrical objects. We often let it play the role of the basic knot of complex knots, that is, after other knots are tied, adding a half knot at the end can make the whole knot stronger.

2. Flat knot: Flat knot is also called square knot or bottleneck knot. This kind of knot can be said to be the most widely used in life, and we often use it when two ropes are connected or tied to objects.

But when we connect two ropes, we'd better choose knots with similar materials and thicknesses, so as to maximize the power of flat knots. Sometimes, don't worry if the solution is not too tight. Hold the rope end with both hands, and pull on both sides to untie it easily.

3, called knot: called knot is the king of all knots, but also the most loved knot in the world. Tie a fixed ring at one end of the rope. This ring has the best firmness and is not complicated. Therefore, it has become the darling of all walks of life, especially in sailing and mountaineering, so it is also called sail knot or ship cable knot.

Because the weighing knot will not slip or pinch, and the rope loop will not shrink, it is a fairly safe knot, so it will often be used in drowning rescue, aerial work and rescue. The "king of knots" is easy to knot and untie, with high safety, wide use and many varieties. It is really an attractive knot.
