To make a Bowline Knot:
Lay the end a of a rope over the standing part
b. Form with 6 a bight c over
a. Take a round behind b and
down through the bight c. This is a most useful knot employed to form
a loop which will not slip. Running bowlines are formed by making a bowline round its own standing part above
b. It is the most
common and convenient temporary running noose.
