Ring-Platting


Explanation:
According to my research a 'ring hitch' originally was called an "Ankerstich" used by sailors. However this kind of knot also became used for more decorative purposes. Then you call it "Ring-Platting", of which you can find different types of. One of these more specific ones is called "Türkenbund". That is the one Florian has found at wiki. Conclusion: I would translate 'ring hitching' by the more general term "Ring-Platting". I hope this can help you.
