![]() The Constrictor Knot is normally tied in twine or other small diameter line. Rope Size: The pictures here show the rope tied in large diameter rope. When this is necessary, the binding strand should be cut over the other constrictor strands, using them to protect your rope. Bring the end over the standing part and tuck it under and between the two loops. Continue wrapping the end around the dowel so the end is parallel with the standing part. ![]() Wrap the end around to the other side of the object, crossing the standing part. Release: The Constrictor Knot can be very hard to undo – cutting the knot can be the only option. To Tie a Constrictor Hitch: Place the end around and behind the item you are tying the rope to. However, when the twine or rope has to be first passed around an object, then the Threading the End Method has to be used.ĭisadvantages: The Constrictor Knot fails when tied against a flat surface – it requires a curved surface for the binding turn to grip the Half Hitch. Place a bight on the working end (the part of the constrictor that is usually pulled tight) and tighten it up. Using the Twisting Method: The Twisting Method is quick and convenient and can be used even for short lengths, e.g., when using a piece of twine to secure a fraying rope’s end. It securely ties the neck of a sack or bag it has been used as a temporary hose clamp and it can be used to hold items together for gluing.Īlternatives: In addition to the Twisting Method shown here, the Constrictor Knot can be tied by the Folding Method, and by Threading the End when tying this knot round a rail or bar. It is an excellent quick temporary whipping for a fraying rope’s end and can be used to keep a rope’s end together while it is being whipped. Uses: The Constrictor Knot ( ABOK # 1188, p 216.) deserves to be much more widely known and used. ![]()
