The halter hitch is topologically the same knot as the Falconer's knot, i. e. a slipped overhand knot around the main part. [3] The falconer has to tie the same knot one handed, throwing the end around the anchor object (the perch), gripping it with a scissoring fingers act, pulling the bight from opposite side of the main part using the back of the thumb.

The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot: The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.

Tighten the knot down while sliding it into place at the end of the line. Be sure to leave some tail sticking out from the end of the knot. [7] [8]

The falconer's knot is a knot used in falconry to tether a bird of prey to a perch. Some sources show this knot to be identical to the halter hitch , [ 1 ] but with a specific method of single-handed tying needed when the other hand is occupied holding the bird.
Despite questions about this knot's security, it does present some advantages for use in rappels. Because the knot is offset from the axis of tension, it can translate more easily over uneven surfaces and 90 degree edges than other knots; and it is quickly tied and readily untied. Since a stuck rope on a multi-pitch descent can be catastrophic ...
On a rope halter, the fiador knot is made from one continuous piece of rope, and is, along with a series of double overhand knots, one of two types of knots that comprise most rope halters. For one style of rope hobbles , a brass ring may be attached to the double loops on one side of the knot to join the hobble for the horse's other front foot.
