Single Bowline on the Bight
How to Tie the Single Bowline on the Bight
In the past I have shown how to tie a Bowline on the Bight, which in effect is really a Double Bowline on the Bight. The reason being that the completed Bowline on the Bight has two loops on the end of it. However, when it comes to the Single Bowline on the Bight, this only has one loop in the line. Also whey you tie the Single Bowline and the Double Bowline, you will notice some other features. With the Double Bowline, the two lines run parallel to each other. Whereas with the Single Bowline on a Bight the loop runs parallel to the line.

Hello, thanks for leaving a comment on this site. I do not think that you mean a footrope knot as this is just a ball on the end of a rope. Perhaps you are looking for a 2 bight Turks Head that can be made into a keyring: https://youtu.be/BElWOmPYNEA or A Fender Keyring: https://youtu.be/Efkgx5qBjyU Please do let me know if this is what you are looking for?
Well done videos!! The single bowline on a bight in this video appears to me to be a directional 8 with some distortion dressing it. Am I missing the difference between the two?
Thanks and keep up the good work.
