Just a couple of things before we get started...

Tying a honda knot is often just called "tying a honda" (without the word "knot").
The information below is for tying a right-handed honda. Need to tie a left-handed honda? Download our free "How To Tie A Honda" ebook - it has instructions for both right-handed and left-handed hondas.
For the photos, we're using a soft, household-use type of rope. Soft ropes are good for knot-tying practice. Even though the rope is not a lasso or lariat type of rope, the technique is the same.
We took the photos from the side so you could see how the honda was being created and tied. However, holding the rope sideways causes some people to accidentally fight the natural twist in the rope and they wind up tying a crooked honda. Try to get into the habit of holding your rope straight out in front of you, and not sideways as in the photos, when tying your hondas.

How To Tie A Honda

Begin with tying a simple overhand knot. Just take the tail of the rope and follow the arrow above.

Tie a lasso: Begin with an overhand knot

Your overhand knot is complete (it's inside the red circle, above).

The blue line in the photo is indicating the part of the rope that will become the loop of the honda. Go ahead and make this part approximately the correct length right now. It should be long enough that when if forms a loop it is about the size you want your honda to be.
