Depending on the rope and its elasticity, it is possible to unloosen this by tugging one end perpendicular to the knot.

Nice. Now make the rope out of the material that you see from the essay. Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut. Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals. Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) Hope this helps! -science teacher

There’s also the clove hitch which is basically the same thing, but you can untie it, however it won’t untie when under tension/pulling.

[@Hiphop5r]

Pretty certain it's the same thing different name

[@HWPcville]

@@Hiphop5r No a clove hitch will loosen, the constrictor knot will not. Tie one of each onto a smooth rod, pencil, ink pen, etc and see the difference.

[@LadyPelikan]

The constrictor is the Clove hitch with an extra overhand knot on the ends. Very similar, not at all the same use.

[@real-moai]

I don't think so. There's 2 methods for making a clove hitch, I only really know that 1 requires you to make 2 loops and put them over eachother, the other is like a different version of the constrictor knot.

[@MichaelSmith-kj4ik]

When tying a Clove hitch you don’t “Go over top the of the long end”, you simply “Go underneath the X”.

[@VilkasG]

it is useful as long as the ends of the rope dont move cuz if they do it will loosen up. thats how you can untie it. take one of the rope ends and pull them in the opposite dirrection than they want to fall to. like take the upper one and pull it down. it works if the thing you tighten on it is smooth so it works better with textured things. it is a good knot but only when it cant move.

[@HWPcville]

Here's a handy FYI about the constrictor knot. If it is tied on a rod and can be slid off the end of the rod the knot will just disappear. That means it can be tied prior to putting it onto the rod. This is super handy for several reasons. 1) you don't have to access the end of the string/rope to tie the knot 2) when using it as a whipping for a larger rope (to prevent fraying) it can be formed then placed onto the larger rope and then tightened.. To accomplish this form a loop, then create a figure 8 in the loop and fold it back over onto the standing part. Its quicker to do it that it takes to read the instructions.
