Seizing
Seizings are a class of
knots used to semi-permanently bind together two
ropes, two parts of the same rope, or rope and another object. Akin to
lashings, they use
string or
small-stuff to produce friction and leverage to immobilize larger ropes. Seizings are not recommended for heavy loads for critical use as strain reduces the diameter of the main rope and can permit slippage even with proper construction.
