Bowline Knot
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
To tie a bowline knot, lay the end of the rope ‘a’ over ‘b’ so as to form a bight ‘c’; pass the end ‘a’ round behind and under ‘b’, and through the bight; continue with ‘a’ to pass it under the standing part ‘b’, and through the bight ‘c’ in the opposite direction. This knot forms the best loop that will not slip.
