A Miller's knot (also Sack knot or Bag knot) is a binding knot used to secure the opening of a sack or bag. A binding knot is a knot that may be used to keep an object or multiple loose objects together, using a string or a rope that passes at least once around them. There are various binding knots, divided into two types. Friction knots are held in place by the friction between the windings of line. Knotted-ends knots are held in place by the two ends of the line being knotted together. Historically, large sacks often contained grains; thus the association of these knots with the miller's trade. Several knots are known interchangeably by these three names. As noted above, several distinct knots have historically been known as Miller's, Sack, or Bag knots. To avoid ambiguity, these knots are listed below by the reference numbers found in The Ashley Book of Knots. All of these knots can also be made in a slipped form by completing the final tuck with a bight instead of the end. This knot is also a useful hitch and is known by the name Ground-line hitch when used for that purpose.
