Also known as the joining knot it is an excellent general purpose knot for tying two pieces of string or twine together, the square knot is possibly the most commonly used knot for the job, and is easy to learn. However, it cannot be overly stressed that the Square knot is not a long term or secure knot, and it should only be used to finish parcels or bindings.
