Knot Tying: The Becket Hitch

The BECKET HITCH makes an effective DRAWING BEND. Put a BOWLINE KNOT in a rope's end. Reeve the other end through it, draw taut and hitch. (ABOK#1475) A becket hitch has the same structure as the sheet bend, which joins, or "bends", the ends of two ropes together. The becket hitch, in contrast, fixes a rope to a closed eye or hook.
