Double Loop Knot
Description
The double loop knot creates two fixed, equal-sized loops from a single rope end. The loops emerge from the knot body in a parallel arrangement and are independently secure. This knot is useful when two attachment points are needed on a single rope.
Common Uses
Used in rigging and rescue for creating two connection points, suspending equipment, or distributing load across two anchors.
How to Tie
- 1Form a bight and tie an overhand knot, leaving a large loop.
- 2Pass the bight through the overhand knot twice.
- 3Pull the bight to form two separate loops.
- 4Adjust both loops to equal size.
- 5Tighten the knot body by pulling the standing end.
- 6Dress the knot so both loops are clearly defined and symmetric.
