The Directional Figure Eight can be tied so that the loop points right
or left. The steps illustrated here result in a left-pointing loop. To tie a
right-pointing one, start the first tuck in the opposite direction. A good
rule of thumb to remember is that you start the first tuck in the opposite
direction from which you want the loop to lay.
DOUBLE BOWLINE
The Double Bowline is similar to the Bowline Loop, but it’s started with
a double crossing turn.
STEP 1 Start with a double crossing turn.
STEP 2 Finish the knot just like a regular Bowline (see previous).
