The question cannot be answered, as there are many things it cannot be used for but it may be the first step in making a knot for things it should be used for.

The Lark's Head knot, referred to as such by the Boy Scouts, is more often called by sailors and others as a Bale Hitch or Cow Hitch. The Lark's Head is usually made in the bight (the middle of a line when neither end is available to tie a knot) and consists of 2 Half Hitches made in 2 directions against each other. The Lark's Head can be made in a second with one hand and is an easy way to secure anything where the loops may be slid over a post or rail. The Lark's Head can be used as the first step in making other knots as well, such as a Slip Knot. Because the Lark's Head can be made in a second using just 2 fingers, it is popular when it can be used.
