Knots have been in use for thousands of years.  They have 3 practical purposes – to attach a rope to another rope, to attach a rope to an object or to allow a rope to perform a function (such as a snare or lariat).  All knots have multiple uses, though some – like the hangman’s noose – are suited for a very specific purpose. 

There are several types of knots including bends, hitches, loop knots, lashings, binding knots, stopper knots and splices.  The language of knots is complicated since, for example, a fishermen’s bend is actually a hitch and a fishermen’s knot is a bend.  For this reason, we have not classified knots by type.  In order, to simplify presentation in this guide, knots have been organized according to key functions.
