Heinz Prohaska discussed several knots in Nylon Highway
#30. One of these is now commonly known as Blake's
Hitch. This page describes two others. The double-rope version
of the Prohaska knot is a related to the Hedden
Knot. I find that it behaves similarly, but may be slightly
harder to loosen. The single-rope version also holds well; however,
the tail can pull through causing the knot to untie. One way to
prevent this is to tie a stopper knot in the tail as shown in
the Blake's Hitch page.
