Knot Quiz is a fun application designed to test your knot knowledge and ropecraft! So you think you know your bights from your bends, your loops from your hitches? Give the free app a try and see how well you know 15 basic knots. When you are ready, purchase add-on packs that add more advanced knots to the fray!

The knots are tied “loosely” in each image so you can see better how to tie them. Version 1.1 adds animated knots showing you the ins and outs, overs and arounds, and up and throughs! A hint button lets you know what the knot is used for and what other names it is known by.
