A figure-eight loop is created by doubling the rope into a bight, then tying the standard [[figure-eight knot]].

In climbing, this knot is used to save time when repeatedly attaching the rope to climbing harnesses, using locking [[carabiner]]s, such as when a group of people are climbing on the same top-rope.<ref name=":1" />
