Learn to Tie Knots
1. Square Lashing
This is useful for attaching sticks together to make mobiles, swords, frames, stars and so on.
2. Clove Hitch
Use this knot to attach a rope to a fixed post to make a washing line or similar. Use this knot to start a square lashing or simply to attach some string to a stick for mobiles, story sticks, fishing rods and so on.
3. Reef Knot
This knot is for tying two ends of a line together and it holds tight for example to give you a longer length of rope.
