The Bowstring Knot, also called a Honda Knot is the loop knot commonly used in a lasso. Its round shape, especially when tied in stiff rope, helps it slide freely along the rope it is tied around.
To Tie a Bowstring Knot:
| Tie an Overhand Knot. |  |
| Bring the end of the rope around and back through the Overhand Knot, then tie an Overhand Knot in the end of the rope to act as a “stopper knot”. |  |
| Dress and set the knot. |  |
| You can feed the main line through the loop to form a lasso. |  |
