- Rolling Hitch or Magnus Hitch - How to Tie the Rolling Hitch - 3 Variations
In this short video I show three variations on how to tie the Rolling Hitch or the Magnus Hitch as it was formerly known.
The first version of the Rolling Hitch is how it is usually tied to a spar or pole.
The second version of the Rolling Hitch is as I understand is how it is tied to a rope.
Then Finally the third version, is what is listed in Ashley's Book of Knots as the Magnus Hitch.

Are you from Nottingham?
@@goyschak3832 No mate, why?
@@KnottingKnots Knot-tingham. Sorry for the stupid play on words.
Your channel is fantastic. I came here to learn some knots for the outdoors.
You explain everything very well, sprinkle it with a piece of humor and history and show everything from the first person perspective (very important for a learner like me, because the mirroring of the movements of the knot-teachers who film in a frontal way in other videos is nearly impossible for a beginner's brain to calculate). Your ropes are brightly coloured on a dark background which increases visibility. Your presentation of the knots is in a speed where it is possible to knot the knot at the same time and you always repeat at least once. Very well done! Which enabled me to learn five or six knots in nearly no time.
Two wishes for when you present the next knots:
1. Please, show how the knot is untied in the easiest way and
2. where appropriate make a remark if the knot is prone to loosening itself / for which direction of tension the knot is.
Keep up the brilliant work, mate!
Greetings from Germany!
@@goyschak3832 Many thanks for your comment and greetings to you in Germany. Many moons ago, I used to live in Krefeld. Glad that you enjoy the knots.
johnny my man! you live! good to see you! i feared the worst seeing nothing new from you for almost a year. hope you're perfectly fine and we can enjoy a new video soon! enjoy the holidays!

A few years ago, I used the magnus hitch to lower an old water heater, followed by raising a new 130 lb water heater into my attic. I used a block and tackle. Worked great on the large diameter, slick surface of the water heater.
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Super easy way to remember Ashley #1794, the first variation shown: It’s a clove hitch. Exactly. But with an extra turn before crossing and finishing. Similarly one can see the same relationship between the last variation shown, Ashley #1736 or Magnus hitch as to the cow hitch - again, just an extra turn before crossing the standing side and finishing the last tuck of the working end.
18k Now bro that's insane so happy that your doing great!
I use the rolling hitch daily on my sailboat. Hanging fenders over the side tying my snubber on my anchor chain are two applications often used. I am excited to try the Magnus Hitch. Now I am going to make some new dock lines by making eye splices in some 3/4" three strand line... Later I'll whip the ends... Thanks for all the intel.
Use the midshipman's hitch instead (the second variation shown)
I am a former boat racer (30-40 feet) in Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico a long time ago now. It was THE go to knot for re-directing the tension of a rope/sheet/halyard STILL UNDER STRAIN due to something like a fouled winch (not a fowled wench) and when you are only one step from using the hatchet. Just re-learning here.
I believe it was last one.
THANKS!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO
I believe that the 3rd, the Magnus, is really easy to release.
Where have you gone? Love your description from Ashley's Book of Knots. You're a blessing to knots. Hope all is well. Awaiting your next video.
Cheers Mate!
Great video, very clear and easy to follow as are all your videos. I’ve only just discovered your channel and I’m hooked, I hope you make more at some point. Cheers 👍🏻
great knot
Johnny, I miss seeing videos of cool things to try. Hope all is well. I keep rewatching a lot of your old content. Really hoping to see a new video soon.
All is fine, thanks for asking. I am sure that I will do more videos in the future.
Rolling hict simple. Nice bro tanks you
Glad that you liked it.
Very nice clear instructions. I will inevitably use whatever is easiest to remember ! 😁
Good knot this, does not slip when under tension.
The 1st knot is used by UK scaffolders to tie tube on to errect/ dismantle scaffolding
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Great video! I was scrolling through my my sub. videos and I quickly looked at the the picture for this video and when looked at quickly, it looks like these hitches are giving me the finger! 😂
Can you not get a hint?? 😄 Never noticed till you said, now that is all I see.
Johnny Debt me too! 😂
Interesting. I have been tying the magnus hitch for years but i was taught that it was a rolling hitch. I use your magnus hitch for attaching a sheet-to-tiller line to my jib or main sheet for self-steering my sailboat. I also use the magnus hitch to attach to the to ear pieces of my glasses to hold them onto my head. Thanks for your video.
Always good to hear how knots are used in action! Perhaps use the scaffold knot or poachers noose more a more secure but removable way of attaching your glasses: th-cam.com/video/yDgeTjDSvts/w-d-xo.html Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
You should do a video about the "G E hitch/knot" there's only one guy on youtube that I've seen do it. I cant find it anywhere else. It's really easy and secure...and has become one of my go to's for when I need a hitch. Because it's so easy.
Plz share a link ,I didn't find it
Could you do a review of marlin spikes of spike-equipped folding knives?
Good vid and good explanation 👍
I wonder if you are testing me, to see if I ask a question?
We miss you JD. Hope are well and hope to hear from you soon. Your videos have been a huge help to this fledgling knotter.
Thanks for your concern mate, all fine...................... just a really lazy git these days ;-)
I don't use it for much other than hanging tools. But I'm glad we have TH-cam to show us that you appreciate the simple thing well done. Knots and the British accent seem to go together.
It's an English accent. The English live in England, the Scottish in Scotland, and the Welsh in Wales, but all three countries are British because they live on the same island: Great Britain. Welsh and Scottish accents are British, but this one is clearly English. Hope this helps.
Thanks again for yet another good video. Nice solid hitches. I might suggest demonstrating the another variant in a future video, the Tarbuck Hitch. It is similar to that final version of Magnus Hitch you demonstrated, the difference is the wraps continue in the same direction around the standing rope and end is reversed after the last turn.
Just looked it up and it is now on my list of knots to do. Thanks for letting me know about this one.
Still waiting for another knot... As I read my ‘Ashley Book of Knots’, I cannot but help myself reading it in your native voice. How about a little joke?
A rope walks into a bar and asks for a pint, the bartender replies "I don't serve ropes, you'll have to leave". The rope leaves determined to get served. He ties himself up, ruffles his hair and tries again. "Are you the rope i just threw out?"
Rope says "I'm a frayed knot mate".
I have been taught in sailing that each of the first two methods are the correct way and the other is wrong.
Either version can easily slip into the other while tieing or as the sideways pull is applied to hitch. In both cases the standing end pinches both turns on the direction of pull side. I believe they are effectively the same hitch, just dressed differently. I've found they both work equally well.
I used a rolling hitch to attach the working end of an icicle knot to the other working end of an icicle knot oriented in opposite direction, in order to rotate a pole to lift weights. Two ropes. Short one rolling hitched to the other.
You read my mind! After being confused by different knots going by the same name I just typed in the name of this knot and your name and found my answer!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
@@KnottingKnots At this point practical. I retired 2 yrs ago to a hobby farm where rope skills are important. Luv your channel!
BTW, your practice stand inspired me to make my own only I made a laptop version so I could follow along while watching your videos relaxing on the couch. photos.app.goo.gl/cNu4ygrAA8M4Av2MA
I am envious of you!! I would love to be in a situation where I have to have a set of knots in my mind, at the ready, to be used instantly. What country is your farm in?
@@KnottingKnots I live in Palermo, Maine. USA.
I love the rolling hitch. Funny enough, I accidentally "invented" the hitch on the rope. I used to do mine that way thinking that was correct until I looked it up and saw the first version, and started doing it that way instead thinking version 2 was wrong! How do I use it mostly? When I tarp over my sailboat for the winter. I tie a buntline hitch on one side of the tarp, then run the line under the boat on its cradle. On the other side I run the line through the tarp's grommet, then tie it off with a rolling hitch on the standing end. I can then slide the knot to tighten the tarp as needed. This technique has withstood 70kph winds!
CYAM100 - thanks for sharing. It's always good to know what knots have been proven reliable under harsh conditions.
Just a share for usage: I use the rolling hitch on my 40’ Caliber monohull sailboat as the connection of my 1/2” x 25’ snubber line to my HT G4 3/8” chain anchor rhode. This is a sure quick and easy attachment that does not slip or chafe on the chain. I have snubbed the anchor chain successfully for years this way. Remember.... “Ropes are for sex and lines are for boats”..... A light hearted adage for those new to sailing ;-)
Hi Johnny, I am looking for a clear tutorial for Silk knots cufflinks. I found one or two on youtube but they are not too clear. Do you consider making a tutorial for this cufflinks? Thank you!
I want to know out of all the knots you've researched/presented.
Which knots make your top TEN knots that are your favorite most useful or most people should know. If it's more then ten then great. I'm doing a report of the history of knots and their uses.
My favorite knot is the Farrimond Friction Hitch.
I would say my most favourite would be the.....
Marlin Spike Hitch, as this one method of tying, turns into many other knots. It can be a Slip Knot, Bowline and Cowboy Bowline, Stopper Knot and a bend formed by two Bowlines. This can also be used to make a ladder: th-cam.com/video/Wa4uyMp1B6E/w-d-xo.html This Marlin Spike video really does need updating now: th-cam.com/video/3r2UjaV8SVg/w-d-xo.html
Imitation Slipped Bowline, I have found that it is quite secure despite being slipped: th-cam.com/video/i1KSZfSGEPg/w-d-xo.html I prefer this over the Kalmyk, because the Kalmyk can be a little dangerous if tightened incorrectly.
Poachers Noose, just really secure: th-cam.com/video/yDgeTjDSvts/w-d-xo.html
Alpine Butterfly: th-cam.com/video/03Hj6rOoY8s/w-d-xo.html
Farrimond Friction Hitch: th-cam.com/video/D71hh2T7bD8/w-d-xo.html
Canadian Jam Knot, I often turn to this one when wanting to secure things very tightly: th-cam.com/video/fOWue9PhSBQ/w-d-xo.html
Backhand Hitch, often use this one for good security: th-cam.com/video/M4ktpEtz_5c/w-d-xo.html
Prusik Knot or variation of. Trucker Hitch or variations of.
I think it really does depend on what you are doing............ Rock climbers have their own favs, as do bushcrafter.
@@KnottingKnots
Thank you I really like those knots especially the Canadian Jam knot so stupid useful and so stupid easy to tie.....
Handy hitch. I use all chain between my sailboat and the anchor but often use what you call the Magnus hitch and I have always called a rolling hitch (mistakenly) if I am attaching a bit of three strand in order to give some stretching ability to lessen the shock load when waves hit the bow at anchor.
I also don't use a windlass (mechanical device to lift the anchor) and use it to attach a line to the anchor chain leading that line to one of my winches to pick the anchor up if it's stuck to hard to lift by hand. Rare but it happens.
thank you very much for that information Jim, it is always interesting hear how some knots are used. just out of curiosity, roughly how many go to knots do you use?
@@KnottingKnots I keep things pretty simple really I think but probably 5 or 6 that get used reasonably often? Let's see. .
-The ever present bowline.
-Square or reef hitch
-Rolling or Magnus hitch
-Midshipman hitch
-Cleat hitch
-icicle hitch
-A couple different stopper knots I never bother to remember the names of.
-Simple wrapping to keep the end of braided from getting ugly fast and as a protective covering where my oars meet the oar locks on my dinghy.
That's about all I use in a regular basis.
Sailing for the Bahamas in a few days and away from cell service so keep knotting without me I'll enjoy when I'm near civilization again.
Ps. Bringing extra traditional line to practice crown knot to make some rope dinghy bumpers. Should be a laugh the first time or two.
Video bagus brothers.
Should that mean something?
Wow
The first inner is what I use to tie to a rail before I throw the rope over before I tie a dolly (truckers hitch)
Hi I have knowledge of the rolling hitch for some time . Or what you called the Magnus hitch. I was told this was one of the hitches often uesed when hitching your horse .And it seems to me to be right . Imagine slapping oiled raw hide with some slack over a rail. It would automatically wrap its way a round a couple times then just cross over and through. I have not ever used it this way even though I live and work in Wyoming. But it’s a good not and have used few times. One other way to tie this that looks good try a extra loop or two . 👍🏿
Hi there johnny, love the channel been learning a lot from you here. I'm starting to learn decorative knotting as a hobby but i also do rope access work for a living. Keep up the vid"s, you are always great to listen to and easy to learn from. Question if you ever get a sec, i have a variation on a bowline you might not have seen and i'm begening to think it might be a orignal, but i know their are hundreds out there. Do you know of a website that lists ALL the diffent known bowline"s that i could check on?
Hello Dark, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I have listed many bowlines here: igkt-solent.co.uk/bowline/ is your one amongst them?
@@KnottingKnots Thanks for the list, but no it's not on it. Tie's like a waterbowline but then swap the possition of the two loops creating a third loop down over the standing end, then tie off like a water bowline but come up through the new third loop after passing around the standing end and back out the top two loops again. Work great because it"s very secure, makes a almost perfect in-line loop knot from a bowline and you can re-feed the last bit of standing end to creat a second secure loop within the knot to use as a slip knot pulley.
It is a Bugger to dress up tight though....
@@ausdarkrune Do you have a photo? The best place for anything serious knotting would be this forum: igkt.net/sm/
And the down pointing one is a bight, not a loop,. Sorry.
I’ve used the rolling hitch for an anchor line snubber on rope anchor rode. With working and such the rolling hitch has moved on the anchor rode.
I’ve since made a system using a Prussik loop with a (sliding) shackle on the snubber so that the snubber goes to 2 bow cleats.
The I wonder if I could use the magnus with a double spliced (loops on both ends) to then eliminate the shackle.
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
there's a hitch similar to 1735 but with an additional crossing that i use now and then called a boom hitch.
Off to search it out.
Very nice demo, thanks. Anyway, I realized that the 1736 knot is weak, it tends to slip especially if used on a tube or a surface that lacks friction ! Use the 1734 or better the 1735. Cheers
always good to hear what others are using. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
A handy way to connect a bear bag to the horizontal line that it dangles from, in a non-nautical application.
Yes, but for me a bear is never a problem. Are you in the land of the bear?
@@KnottingKnots , in the Appalachian Mts, you need to secure your food overnight, when backpacking or camping.
Oh yes, I have walked the AT twice!! Well I have watched Home Made Wanderlust and Lizz Kidder walk it on YT ;-)
So a taut line hitch normally uses version 1, but if you use version 2, then it becomes a midshipman's hitch. Is that right?
Thank you very much for a fantastic and concise explanation on tying a rolling hitch. I need to tie a 14 mm nylon rope to an 8 mm chain. The nylon rope will work on a sailboat as a snubber. Which knot would you recommend? Is the magnum hitch appropriate for this task? Thanks for your help.
Many thanks for your kind words. OK, I am guessing that the snubber needs to be a knot that grips tight, does not easily shake loose and needs to be easily undone?
That’s correct. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for your help.
@@arturoaortiz I am wondering, maybe for more security take a look at the Lobster Buoy Hitch: th-cam.com/video/1fi8OdQ1Iss/w-d-xo.html
Hello mate good demo, UK merchant seafarers use variant 2, with more synthetic ropes getting used nowadays we normally take an extra inside turn so you have 3 turns which is more secure and grips better with synthetics
are you a seagoer? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots yes Johnny, Able seaman/Bosun past 30 years, like your videos👍
@@cmcc4662 Ex RN Stoker myself, good to meet you shippers.
@@KnottingKnots you to shipmate, spent a lot of time working with navy on RFAs, RMAS, Serco Tugs ect, mostly freelance on offshore Drillships and semi subs ect
In a recent episode of Sailing followtheboat TH-cam video, Liz talks about the rolling hitch to connect the snubber to the anchor chain during anchor cinched up so tight, during a particularly bad overnight storm, that she had to cut through the knot to remove the snubber from the anchor chain. So, she researched, found, and now using the icicle hitch. Unfortunately, she does not attempt to illustrate how to tie the icicle hitch. From what I can see, the icicle hitch might be a Magnus hitch with a few extra turns. She says they are currently happy with using the icicle hitch to tie the snubber onto the anchor chain while at anchor.
Here is the Icicle Hitch that I did a while ago: th-cam.com/video/JFZwfCoETdQ/w-d-xo.html There is also something called the Pipe Hitch that is very similar.
I prefer to use the Magnus hitch (#1736) on my taut-lines. Just like that way better and its easier for me to dress it pulling working and standing ends together
Yes, I think I may agree with you, just simplicity.
Hi Johnny. What's the best midline, quick release hitch? Many thanks in advance
Are you looking for a hitch that will bind fast to an object or can it just be a loop knot?
@@KnottingKnots I'd be interested in both, providing both are quick release. (i'm assuming one's more secure that the other...?)
@@7mag Two that come instantly to mind are the Kalmyk Loop: th-cam.com/video/-5H4AdSdbN4/w-d-xo.html which creates a nice slipped loop knot. The Evenk Hitch: th-cam.com/video/bF_DZ1uqX7U/w-d-xo.html which can also be tied in the middle of a rope. Perhaps also the Sampan Hitch: th-cam.com/video/IvO7GqAncAs/w-d-xo.html I have put the link to show this being tied further along the line, rather than you having to watch all of the video. Let me know if any of these help?
@@KnottingKnots Thanks Johnny; helps a lot.
Any knots like this that allow pull in both directions?
Now you have got me thinking. Yes there is a downside with this as it can come undone when pulled in the wrong direction.............
@@KnottingKnots ah, recently i had need for this.
The first one is often called the taught-line hitch and the second a midshipman's hitch.
This is the Tautline Hitch or the Midshipman's Hitch: th-cam.com/video/twHBqJafs9s/w-d-xo.html
@@KnottingKnots i'm having difficulty telling the difference between the first rolling hitch you do in this video and the tautline hitch in your link.
Hi Johnny Whats happened have you broke both arms this time.
Blimey, you remembered that? Actually I have taken a short break, so as to recharge. I will definitely be back very shortly. Really good of you to ask!
Johnny. Where have you been?
Have you tried the icicle hitch? You may find it is even more secure.
Yes, I did a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/JFZwfCoETdQ/w-d-xo.html with two ways of tying it. There is one that is better, but I cannot remember the name of it. I getting so old. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots is it the Klemheist Knot that you are thinking of?
@@allandoughty1039 I did do a video on the Klemheist, but there was another. I did search all my videos, but could not find it. I wonder now, if it was one that I saw somewhere else???
Johnny! Where are you? This seems to be your last video, a year ago. I hope that you'll be back soon. Let's get knotting.
Hello Russel, still alive and kicking. I really started this channel to aid my memory in tying knots. Towards the end, I felt as though I was on a bit of a treadmill, and the enjoyment was fading. I do however watch for comments, as you can see, I do still reply. Hope that you are well during this strange period of our lives?
@@KnottingKnots
Johnny! I am happy that you are alive and well. I hardly ever check for dates on videos, I just watched all of yours and there wasn't anything new and realized that your last one was a year old. I do understand the burn out though.
You have some of the best rope videos on TH-cam, especially for beginners. Hahaha there was never any question about where the lead was going next. Well done.
Johnny I've learned so much from your videos! And I want to learn more pleeeaaasssseeee don't stop your such an asset to up and coming knotters like myself!

@@KnottingKnots thank you! I was wondering where else I could find you, I truly enjoy learning from you and as I am just starting this journey I'm hungry for information!!! Thank you again
The Magnus Hitch is what I use to tie up my old lady when she becomes troublesome. I call it the "Bitch Hitch". 😁😄😂
John do you still upload??
Surely, the question should be, are you still alive? Not uploaded for a long time, took a break for my own sanity. Thanks for asking mate.
@@KnottingKnots Good to know that you'll be back at some point in time and knot dead.
Im practising with paracord and plastic pipe. I'd trust the second variation over the magnus hitch, and probably the constrictor hitch over that, though they are all kissing cousins to the clove hitch.
I have found a better knot than any of these and it is the stevedore knot you my know it as a stopper knot but it has many other uses and one of them is a similar knot to the rolling hitch but the pull comes from the other side of the knot than it would be of the rolling hitch.
magnus hitch does not look very safe to me !! maybe at the last stage of the knot one should get accros and tie !
Are you still active
Do you mean alive??? Yes, still kicking around.
Rolling hitch - clove hitch on steroids.
Knot tying vids (and books) need a bit more emphasis on usage. A body needs to understand application to fully understand understand technique. Broaden your vids to show usage, and you will have a much better channel.
