half hitch
Basic rope fastening
A half hitch is a simple knot made by passing a rope around an object and then through the loop formed.
It's one of the most basic knots in seamanship and general use, often tied in pairs for security: He secured the line with two half hitches.
A single half hitch will slip under tension, so it typically serves as a component of more complex knots rather than standing alone.
