| How to Tie Knots |
| Like the French bowline, the bowline on a bight forms two loops, but they must be of the same size. Start by making a good-size bight and an overhand loop as shown in figure A, and bring the end up through the loop. Open the end loop and bring it down and around the entire knot as in figure B. Set the knot securely before putting weight on it as in figure C. |
