Bowline
How Many Different Bowlines are There?
Well I really do not know the answer to that. What I thought I would do is put together a collection of different Bowlines here. Some may of may not be actual Bowlines, but they all have the name Bowline linked to them.

If you want to learn how to tie the different Bowlines I have created a Bowline Play List here: Bowline Videos
Bowline Pictures
The pictures below show the many different Bowlines, but have been deliberately left loose in order to better show the structure of the knot.
Missing Bowline?
I will be updating this blog post on a regular basis, as I come across new Bowlines to add to the collection. If you think there is one that needs a mention, leave me a comment down below.

I highly recommend the following site.

It claims to have found 120 different names (although many are different names for the same knot). It also has none of the more recent Bowline variations for added security which are highlighted in Mark Grommers excellent article titled “Bowline Analysis” at http://www.paci.com.au/knots.php
Good Luck! in creating a new list!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. I am off now to have a read through those suggestions 😉 😉 😉
While bowline variations abound, the Scott’s Simple Locked Bowline (aka Woven Bowline) may be worth mentioning for its security and simplicity. Thanks!
