A round turn is two complete turns around an object. Which term describes this?

• A. Half turn
• B. Double wrap
• C. Round turn
• D. Figure-eight

Answer: (C)

Two complete revolutions around an object have a specific name in rope and knot terminology: a round turn. It means the rope goes around the object twice, with the two portions lying alongside each other. A single wrap around would be a half turn, while a figure-eight is a knot pattern rather than a description of wraps around an object. A double wrap can describe two wraps in some contexts, but the standard term that precisely describes two full turns around the object is round turn.
