Bowlines based on a single nipping loop

All of the following Bowlines are based on a single helical nipping loop.
Note: In this particular case, all of the Bowlines are shown with a ‘right-hand’ (Z twist)
nipping loop. They could also have been tied with a ‘left-hand’ (S twist) nipping loop – and
still be Bowlines.
