🔍 Key Concepts

• Compare a single blackwall hitch to a double blackwall hitch – the double is basically the same hitch with an extra turn on the hook. • A blackwall hitch is used to fasten a rope directly to a hook, not around a post, ring, or another rope. • Look at how the standing part of the line traps the bitter end against the hook in a blackwall-style hitch.

💭 Think About

• First, find the picture in the plate that looks like a single blackwall hitch (rope bent to a hook with one set of turns). Which letter is that? • Now scan the answer choices and look for the knot that is made the same way and on the same kind of fitting, but with an extra wrap/turn around the hook. • Eliminate any choices where the rope is around a post, ring, or another rope instead of a hook – those cannot be a blackwall hitch.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the fitting is clearly a hook-shaped piece of hardware, not a ring or post. • Count how many turns/wraps the rope makes over the hook — the double version should show two successive trapping turns of the standing part over the bitter end. • Confirm that the standing part lies over and clamps the bitter end against the hook in the same pattern as the single blackwall hitch elsewhere in the illustration.
