Ring Hitch Knot

The Ring Hitch Knot is commonly used to connect a short section of cord to an object with a pre-cut hole such as found on a name or tag or whistle. The Ring Hitch Knot is also often used to attach short sections of rope to a ring or grommet such as those found on a tent or tarp. In the case of a name tag or whistle, though the cord ends may have been previously tied or fused to form a single loop, the cord can still be threated through the object and passed through itself to form the hitch.

When completed, the Lanyard Hitch is identical in structure to the Cow Hitch. The difference is in how they are tied; the Cow Hitch is more practical with long rope where only one end is tied to an animal. The Ring Hitch Knot on the other hand, require threading the entire rope through the formed bight which makes it impractical for long rope. The Ring Hitch Knot can fail unless equal tension is applied to both of the standing parts of the rope.
