A figure-eight loop (also figure-eight on a bight or Flemish loop or Flemish eight) is a type of knot created by a loop on the bight. It is used in climbing and caving where rope strains are light to moderate and for decorative purposes. The knot is commonly followed by tying a strangle knot (AKA Half a Double Fisherman's Knot) or an overhand knot around the standing end.
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.
Tying methods
Traditional
A figure-eight loop is created by doubling the rope into a bight, then tying the standard figure-eight knot.
Follow Through
Alternatively, to tie the knot directly around an object, the follow through method must be used.
Tie a regular figure eight knot with a significant amount of extra tail.
Loop the tail around the object.
Thread the tail back through the figure eight to create a normal looking figure eight on a bight.
Figure eight as double four, figure four as half of eight. if you skate, you would be great if you could make a figure 8. that's a circle that turns 'round upon itself. 1 x 8 is 2 x 4. 4 x 4 is 2 x 8. if you skate upon thin ice, you'd be wise if you thought twice before you made another single move. 1 x 8 is 8, 2 x 8 is l6, 3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32, and 5 x 8 is 40, you know. 6 x 8 is 48, 7 x 8 is 56, 8 x 8 is 64, 9 x 8 is 72, 10 x 8 is 80, that's true. 11 x 8 is 88, and 12 x 8 is 96. now, here's a chance to get off on your new math tricks. 'cause 12 x 8 is the same as 10 x 8 plus 2 x 8 80 plus 16 ... 96 1 x 8 is 8, 2 x 8 is 16 3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32 and 5 x 8 is 40, you know. Figure eight as double four, figure four as half of eight. if you skate, you would be great, if you could make a figure 8. that's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.
