The following knot is called a constrictor knot, because like the snake, it squeezes against itself. This knot is useful for keeping the ends of rope from unraveling or around a cloth bag to keep it closed. Pass working end of cord over, behind, and to the right of the object to be bound.

Scott, The knot you are showing is called a clove hitch. If you go to realknots.com you will see the difference in the two knots.

Pass the working end of the cord over the top and to the left of the standing part of the rope

Pass the working end of the cord around the back of the object.

Tuck the working end of the cord under the loop, to the left of the standing end of the cord.

Pull both ends together as tight as possible. Since this knot binds against itself, it will be both very secure, and difficult to remove. Using a knife to cut the cord that passes over the top will release the knot.
