The double figure eight is used to put a loop in the end of a rope, or around an object. It is relatively easy to tie and is secure, but can become difficult to untie after heavy loading, and can jam badly in any rope type. | The double figure eight is used to put a loop in the end of a rope, or around an object.

One can easily make a loop using a double figure eight knot by doubling the rope, then tying the standard [[figure-of-eight knot|figure eight knot]]. If the loop has to be made around a post or through a ring, and only one end of the rope is available, the follow-through method is used by tying a loose figure eight knot in the rope, then putting the working end around the object. The working end is retraced through the original figure eight knot to form a double figure eight. | One can easily make a loop using a double figure eight knot by doubling the rope, then tying the standard [[figure-of-eight knot|figure eight knot]].
