pull. Bring the working end out over the standing part away from the direction of pull. Complete with a half hitch, moving around the object in the same direction as the first turns, as for a clove hitch. Dress by snugging the hitch around the object before applying load. Rolling Hitch (2) #1735 This version is preferred when attaching rope to another rope. The first two turns create an awning hitch − a temporary hitch used by riggers when adjusting tent lines. These first two turns are merely a subtle rearrangement in the position of the turns of #1734. Begin by making a turn around the object, bringing the working end back between the object and the standing part. Cross over the standing part away from the desired direction of pull. Make a second turn that exactly follows the first, and hence also passes between the object and standing part and then crosses over the standing part, away from the direction of pull. Make sure the second turn "tucks" between the first turn and the standing part; that is what gives this version extra grip when made around another rope. Finish with a half hitch, moving around the object in the same direction as the first turns, as for a clove hitch. Dress by snugging the hitch around the object before applying load. Magnus Hitch #1736 This is tied exactly as #1734, but with the final hitch in the opposite direction. It can be more tricky to snug-up, since both lines emerge from the same side of the hitch, but it has less tendency to twist under load. Start with a turn around the object. Bring the working end towards the direction of pull and between the standing part and the object. Make another wrap around the object, completing a round turn. The wraps of the round turn should progress towards the desired direction of pull. Bring the working end out over the standing part away from the direction of pull. Complete with a half hitch, moving around the object in the opposite direction as the first turns, as for a cow hitch. Dress by snugging the hitch around the object before applying load. Security If the hitch is not made very snug before applying any strain, it will not tighten further under load. When hitching to another rope, Ashley and other sources suggest #1735 is more secure.
