Tying
a Bowline : Animated Knots

Form a small loop (the direction is important), and pass the free
end of the knot up through the loop, around behind the standing part
of the rope, and back down through the loop.
A chant used by many to remember this knot is "The rabbit
comes out of the hole, round the tree, and back down the hole again",
where the hole is the small loop, and the rabbit is the running end
of the rope.
