Continuous ring hitching, also known as Single ringbolt hitching, is a series of identical hitches made around a ring. This is considered the simplest form of Ringbolt hitching.<ref name="ashley225">Clifford W. Ashley, The Ashley Book of Knots (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 569.</ref> Covering a ring in hitching can prevent damage if the ring is likely to chafe or strike against something, such as a mooring line or mast.
