Another secure knot variation, again based on looping around more than once. Begin as for the Standard Shoelace Knot , only loop around twice before pulling through the loops thus made.

Step 1:

Begin with a regular Left-over-Right Starting Knot.

Step 2:

Make the right (blue) end into a “loop” by simply doubling it back onto itself.

Step 3:

Take the left (yellow) lace and pass it around to the right, going behind the right loop.

Step 4:

Continue the left (yellow) end around the right loop to end up in front.

Up to this point, the knot is exactly the same as the Standard Shoelace Knot.

Step 5:

Unlike the Standard Shoelace Knot, pass the left (yellow) lace around the back of the right (blue) loop for the second time.

Step 6:

Continue the left (yellow) lace around the right loop to end up in front for the second time.

TIP: Make large loops by also wrapping around the fingertips that are holding the right (blue) loop.

Step 7:

Feed the left (yellow) lace through the loop thus made.

TIP: Feed through while withdrawing the fingers that were wrapped with the loops in the previous steps.

Step 8:

Keep feeding the left (yellow) lace through until a loop emerges on the right side.

Step 9:

Now, simply pull the loops to tighten the knot. The whole twisted mess of the previous drawing will rearrange itself into a neat finished knot.
