How to Tie a Double Half-Hitch Knot

The next knot we're going to tie is the double half-hitch. It's also known as two half hitches. I'm not really sure why it's not called a full hitch, but I didn't name it so. Anyway, you start just like you start with the half hitch, the rope this way probably going to something, you know, with a load on it. Start by going over and around, and then you do another half hitch making sure you go the same way because it has to be, you know, just the same way around that you go to tie the knot properly. Anyway, this knot usually goes around something like so and, oh it's a relatively stable knot and can be used to tie a load, but, you know, still I wouldn't use it for anything that you don't want to slip because it will, you know, slip around this if you weight it enough.
