Directional Figure Eight
The Directional Figure Eight is an excellent loop that can be tied in the
end of a rope to be used as a fixed loop, or anywhere in the middle
where the pull will be along the direction of the rope.

1 Start by making a bight, then fold it back along one side.

2 Pass the bight behind the standing part and back under the first
crossing turn, exactly in the manner of making a Figure Eight.
