Two Loop Knot Flip Book

Two Loop Shoelace Knot diagram

Also known as the “Bunny Ears” shoelace knot (due to its two loops) or as the “Bowknot”. Make a loop with both ends, then simply tie a knot with them. It's often tied incorrectly, resulting in an un-balanced Granny Knot.

1
Begin with regular “Starting Knot”.
2
Fold both lace ends into “loops”.
3
Cross right (blue) loop over left (yellow).
4
Wrap right (yellow) loop around to front.
5
Feed right (yellow) loop into “hole”.
6
Loop emerges out the right side.
7
Pull tight to complete the 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 sits crooked and comes undone more easily. See my Granny Knot page for more information.
