Carrick Bend An excellent knot to join two ropes, particularly large diameter ropes and hawsers. It draws up tight under load and does not jam.
Sorry, no animation of Carrick Bend at this time.
Don’t forget your knot cards! Animations are the best way to learn to tie a knot but sooner or later you’ll need a printed reference. Why settle for knots printed on paper or bulky books - stash a set of Knot Cards where they’ll be handy when you need them! Check out all of our Knot Cards in the “Knot Card” section.
