Knots/Loop knots/Figure-eight loop

The figure-eight loop (not to be confused with the figure-eight knot, which is similar, but it is a stopper knot) is a loop knot that is used in climbing. It can be tied in two ways:
 * 1) Tie a figure-eight knot  in a rope, then put the working end around something and follow the rope back through the figure-eight. This is the method used to attach a rope to a harness.
 * 2) Tie a figure-eight knot in a bight. This is not the way to attach a rope to something that you can't slip the loop over or into.
