A square knot is called a reef knot in sailing. It is used to tie a
reef in sails because it comes apart easily if you upset it (pull on
one side until the knot changes form). It is then very easily picked
part. This is good and proper for reefing a sail, but not good for
knotting pearls or any other use which should not easily come
undone.
