Portuguese bowline

Knowing the common bowline (see page 63) makes this twin-loop version easier to tie. The

loops are adjustable to some extent, although as one is enlarged, the other shrinks.

Make a loop (with the working end uppermost) in the standing part of the rope, and then pass the
end through the loop from back to front (1). Take a second similar pass and go around behind the
standing part (2). Tuck the end back down beside itself (3, 4). Then pull to tighten the knot (5).
