How to tie a Round Turn and 2 Half Hitches


Take the end of a rope up around the pole from back to front


Then take it around the pole again to form a round turn.


Now take the working end across the standing part (the long 'unused' part)


Then take the rope behind the standing part and tuck it behind itself to form a half hitch


Repeat to make a second half hitch. Pull on the ends to tighten the knot.
