There is a much easier way to tie a bowline, but I find it hard to describe. You cross the ropes over each other as in the first part of a reef knot and pull the free end upwards. The standing end then automatically forms the loop and the free end goes behind the standing part and back through the loop.

You can do it this in a single movement, in the dark or without looking.

I fancy it was originally the rock climbers' way of tying it.
