A bowline knot, also known as a ('lover's knot'), creates a fixed loop at the end of a rope.The loop (or loop), can be fixed around a vertical object, for example a pole, or passed through a hole before being tied.A variant of the bowline knot, the double bowline knot, is sometimes used among mountaineers.The following instructions will allow you to create a bowline knot with a rope.

1
Hold the two ends of the rope, one in your left hand and one in your right hand.
2
Make a small loop with the end you hold in your left hand. Look at the image and make sure the end of the rope is placed under the loop you just created.
3
Pass the end you hold in your right hand through the ring, from right to left.
4
Take the end of the rope again, the one you held in your right hand, and bring it upwards, next to the other end.
5
Pass it behind the left end and then thread it through the initially formed ring, from top to bottom.
- Grasp the left end of the rope and pull the rest of the rope to tighten the knot, creating the loop.

This method is very effective in securing a bowline knot around a pole, for example when docking a boat.For example, it will be possible to create the slip knot before arrival, and then throw the end around a mooring post, turning the loop over to complete the tying.Alternatively follow these instructions.

1
Tie a loose slip knot leaving some distance from the end of the rope. Make sure the sliding end is the long end, as this will become the end of the bowline knot.
2
Loop the other end of the rope around the object you want to secure it to, then thread it through the loop of the slipknot. Make sure the end goes beyond the ring by at least 5cm.Pull the rope at both ends of the slip knot, turning it inside out.Holding the knot at the top may make the operation easier.

Advice

Use a mnemonic to help you remember how to tie the knot:
- Think of the noose as a rabbit hole and the rope coming out of the noose as a tree.
- Imagine that the other end of the rope, the one you are holding in your right hand, is the rabbit.
- The rabbit comes out from the den, he runs environment to the tree and comes back in the den.
For safety, the free end must be 12 times longer than the diameter of the rope.
To untie a bowline knot, regardless of the degree of strength with which it was tied, it will be sufficient to untie it from behind:
- Locate the point where the sliding end (the one with which the knot is tied) turns around the fixed part (the tree around which the rabbit runs) forming a cross;
- With your thumbs, push the ring over the fixed part (away from the knot) so that it 'breaks' at the back;
- This will release the tension on the ring and allow the knot to be untied.

Warnings

Do not use this knot when climbing or carrying heavy loads.
This knot cannot be untied if there is a load on the fixed end.
