                             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.
