BOWLINE

Casting method
This is used when the
bowline is to be tied around
an object.

Method
Tie an overhand knot and pull
the end to form a threaded eye
in the standing part (1,2,3).
Pass the end behind the
standing part and insert the
end back into the eye (4, 5).
Hold the end in the loop with
the leh hand (6) and pull the
standing part with the right
hand to tighten the knot (7).
