This selection of rope knots for outdoor use includes a range of basic, work-a-day utility knots. Although there are litterally thousands of different knots, the knots illustrated on this page include the best knots from the three primary knot catagories: Loop Knots, Bends (rope to rope knots) and Hitches (rope to object knots).

Bear in mind that it is far more important to learn a few knots well than to half-learn a whole bunch of knots!

Why settle for knots printed on paper?
