This knot can be used for securing lines from a grommet to a stake or tree. Because it can be tightened without being retied, it is particularly useful for tying tent and tarp guylines to a tree or stake. The knot will easily slide up and down the standing part of the line, but won't budge when strained.
Create a bight buy passing the free end of the rope through the grommet or around the pole you are tying the rope to.
Loop the free end twice under the standing part of the rope, moving away from the grommet or pole.
Make another loop around the standing part with the free end, by wrapping over, then under the standing part and pulling it through the loop.
Pull the hitch taut. It can now be worked up and down the standing part as needed and will hold tight under pressure.
