Template:Knot-details The cow hitch is a knot (specifically, a hitch). The cow hitch is comprised of two half-hitches tied in opposing directions.
When both the standing parts of the rope are available, the cow hitch can be tied in the following manner:
- Form a bight and pass it through the ring from the underneath.
- Pull the head of the bight downwards, and reach through it, grabbing both standing parts of the rope.
- Pull both standing parts of the rope through the bight.
