When tied with repeated identical Half Knots, the result is a spiral or Bannister Bar ( ABOK # 2494, p 400) when tied with alternating left and right Half Knots, the result is called the Solomon Bar ( ABOK # 2496, p 400). Depending on how it is tied it is known by other names. Macrame: In Macrame, the Half Knot is frequently tied around a central core of two or more strands. It must never be used for critical loads. The knot created, the Square (or Reef) knot, is notorious for its ability to capsize and slip. Recommendations: Although two Half Knots make a satisfactory “Knot”, its use should be restricted. When the second Half Knot is a repeat of the first, it creates a Granny Knot. This is important because to correctly tie the Square (Reef) Knot the next Half Knot must be “Left over Right”. Remember to take note of which way you tied it, e.g., “Right over Left”.

Two Half Knots: The first Half Knot is nearly always followed by a second – or more.

If tied in the air &ndash it cannot bind – and if it is allowed to capsize into the Half Hitch Knot it will slip. The symmetry is important because the Half Knot can only “bind” when tied like this. Tying it: As shown in the animation one end is wrapped round the other to produce a symmetrical knot. This is used to unlock the Crystal chest, which contains a dragonstone, and other items. Doing so will grant you 10 Crafting experience. This document specifies a mechanism for distributing AES keys, in support of STANAG 5066. The Half Knot – a binding knot – first part of a Square (Reef) Knot. The tooth half of a key is used with a loop half of a key to make a crystal key. AES Key Distribution for TRANSEC and Half Loop (S5066-EP15).The Half Hitch – attaches a rope to something, e.g., a Hitching Post can you transpose more in Ableton after +4 half steps would the sound become too degraded to be useable Ive noticed that when I transpose up 2 whole steps in.The Overhand Knot – tied in the end of a rope The loop half of a key is used with a tooth half of a key to make a crystal key.Uses: Ashley described the Half Knot ( ABOK # 48, p 14) as “a binding knot, being the first movement of the Reef or Square Knot.”Ĭomparison: The animation shows the close similarity between:
