cow hitch
The cow hitch is a hitch knot used to attach a rope to an object. The cow hitch comprises a pair of half-hitches tied in opposing directions, as compared to the clove hitch in which the half-hitches are tied in the same direction. It has several variations and is known under a variety of names. It can be tied either with the end of the rope or with a bight.
==History==
A simple and useful knotted structure, the cow hitch has been known since at least the first century when described by Greek physician Heraklas in a monograph on surgical knots and slings. Known under a variety of names, this knot has been used both on land and at sea. The common alternate name lark's head is attributed to Tom Bowling (pseudonym) in the 1866 work ''The Book of Knots'' which is presumed to have been adapted from a French manuscript; lark's head is a literal translation of the French name for the knot, ''tête d'alouette''.〔Ahsley, p. 11.〕
