How to Make a Bowline Knot

A bowline knot forms a loop that does not slip.You can use it for sailing , camping , and even fishing.The good thing about it is that it is easy untie, even if it is really tight.

Position the rope so the end of the rope is facing you and the rest is away from you.Hold the main part of the rope snugly about three feet [90 cm] from the end.The size of the loop will determine the distance.Ten inches [25 cm] farther down the loose end , roll the rope between your thumb and forefinger to the left , allowing a small loop to form.Hold the loop.

Insert the loose end of the rope back to front through the small loop , creating a large loop.

Continue by taking the loose end above the small loop , then continue to the right around behind the main rope and down through the front of the small loop.

Pull the loose end and the main rope tight.
