Tow loop knots??

[ski_crazy]

How do you guys tie tow loop knots for the front bow eye? I'm sitting here trying to figure out the best way to tie a loop of rope to use as a tow loop for the wives 550. Pics would be great too. Thanks

plain old square knot works fine for me.

...and do you really make them all share one single 550?

isnt that called polygaski or something?

i know squat about knots, but I would take the one end go thru the bow eye, then join them and tie both in a knot together( one knot both ends). this will only tighten harder the more it is pulled. hopefully that is a square knot. crap now I have to research knots!

It would look ugly and it's not a square knot... I forgot the name for the knot you are describing, but it's mostly used to sew a button with a needle.

The square knot is one of the basic knots, look it up, it's pretty simple and done in about half a second with your eyes closed.

look up how to tie a bowline. not only will you use it for what you are describing, you will use it for all sorts of things.

I used an old ski rope. I opened up the cross stitching of the rope and put one end of the rope inside the other end. After you have a few inches of coverage, pull the loop tight. The tighter it gets, the tighter the connection for the loop is.

I use a square knot and melt the ends, stuff the knot up inside the bottom of the bow eye.

this is the ticket if you have the patience.
