When a turn around an object is made and a clove hitch is tied to the rope's own [[standing part]], it produces either a [[buntline hitch]] or [[two half-hitches]], depending on whether the turns of the clove hitch progress toward or away from the hitched object. Two-half hitches is also the [[Knot#Capsizing|capsized]] form of a [[granny knot]].<ref name="ABOK" />{{Rp|page=18}} The buntline hitch itself is used as a [[necktie]] knot called the [[four-in-hand knot]].

The clove hitch is also a part of a family of [[Binding knot|binding knots]] called [[Miller's knot|millers' knots]], which all start with a [[single hitch]] tied around an object.
