rolling hitch
A rolling hitch is a type of knot used to attach a rope to a rod, pole, or another rope. Its key feature is that it can be easily adjusted along the object it is secured to without untying the knot. This makes it particularly useful in situations where the load on the rope can shift or where fine adjustments are needed. It is commonly used in sailing and climbing.

Rolling hitch
The rolling hitch is a knot used to attach a rope to a rod, pole, or other rope. A simple friction hitch, it is used for lengthwise pull along an object rather than at right angles. The rolling hitch is designed to resist lengthwise movement for only a single direction of pull. A common usage while sailing is for rigging a stopper to relax the tension on a sheet so that a jammed winch or block can be cleared.
