Finished Knot
Finished Two Loop Shoelace Knot picture The finished Two Loop Shoelace Knot is identical to either my Ian Knot, the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot, or to the Standard Shoelace Knot.
NOTE: If your finished knot comes out crooked, it's probably because you tie your Starting Knot the opposite way to mine. This will result in an un-balanced "Granny Knot", which both sits crooked and comes undone more easily. See my Slipping Shoelace Knots page for more information.
