Do you know of a particular knot that tensions easily around round objects when pulled tight, but does not easily loosen? I want the string to grip tightly around a pole.

Do you mean the (round) Knot?  Also called the Double Fisherman’s Knot.
assistant
I didn't mean any particular knot. That is what I was asking you. Do you know of a not that would serve my purpose? The double fisherman's knot is used to join to separate strings or ropes. I want to tie a knot around a pole or round object.
user
But I don’t understand what you’re saying.  I’m sorry.
assistant
Okay then. I guess I will find out elsewhere...

Hold on there. I don't need every knot in the book. I think maybe the clove hitch knot is what I am looking for. Thank you.
