Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Knot construction and behaviour
A knot with two loops that emerge from the knot beside each other, like the ears of a rabbit. The two main knots that do this are the bowline on a bight and the double loop figure of 8. However, it is possible to make this happen with many loop knots, particularly those tied on a bight, by feeding the end of the loop back into the knot, and wrapping it around the body of the knot.
