Knotting is the process of tying two or more pieces of rope, string, or other materials together to create a secure connection. This technique is used in various activities, such as sailing, climbing, and crafting. Different types of knots serve specific purposes, like the bowline for creating a fixed loop or the square knot for joining two ends of rope. Knotting has practical applications in everyday life, including securing items, creating decorative pieces, and even in fishing for attaching hooks. Learning different knots can enhance skills in outdoor activities and improve safety in various situations.
