Description
The Bow Knot is commonly used for tying shoelaces and is easily tied and untied.
Structure
The Bow Knot is designed for quick release and easily comes untied when either of the working ends are pulled. During the tying of the knot, the farther the loops are pulled, the shorter the working ends become. The Bow Knot is a doubly slipped Square Knot (Reef Knot) that creates two loops which, when the working ends are pulled, allow the knot to be untied easily and quickly.
