Keep the rope loosely wrapped around the ring so that you have a small loop.
Although this knot is secure, do not use it in emergency situations.
You use the cleat hitch to tie ropes to cleats. Cleats are shaped sort of like T’s.
Keep the rope between the screws on top of the cleat. If the cleat is large, or if the rope will be under a lot of tension, make 2 to 3 more figure eights.
Be aware that the knot can slip if there is no constant pressure on it. The knot can also come loose if the object that it’s attached to rotates. [18] X Research source
