How many people do you know who are that reliable? To complete this How-To you will need: A single length of rope Step 1: Make "Q" shape Cross the end of the rope over the top of the remaining rope, making a "Q" shape. Step 2: Thread tail Pass a short portion of the end of the rope, or the tail of the "Q," through the loop from behind (and back along the remaining rope). Thread it loosely, leaving behind a new large, loose loop to the right of your "Q." Step 3: Pass short portion Pass the short portion of the end around the back of the remaining rope. Step 4: Pass short portion again Bring the short portion of the end back up and once again pass it through the small loop (your initial "Q"), this time from the front. Step 5: Cinch knot closed Cinch the knot closed, and use the resulting loop to secure your bow. Thanks for watching How To Tie a Bowline Knot!
