Although more complicated to tie, the Figure-of-Eight Rewoven Loop is a preferred knot for climbers over and above a Double Bowline simply because it is less likely to collapse and to be miss-tied. They especially use it as a “Tie in” for attaching the climbing rope to the harness. In its formation a loop on the bight is created making it useful for most looped tasks and for securing around an object. The Figure-of-Eight Rewoven Loop, although very secure and relatively easy to tie, can jam badly after heavy loading. The Figure-of-Eight Rewoven Loop allows a loop to be formed around an object after the initial figure-of-eight is developed; hence it is made to fit. The illustration here shows an optional stopper knot, often used to reduce the length of tag. Occasionally a stopper knot as added security however it is not required with this knot.
