... the figure-Eight follow through [is] actually the exact same knot as the figure-eight on a loop, except for how you tie it. Instead of tying it with a loop, you first tie a figure eight into the rope and then run the end through your harness and then you "follow-through" to complete the knot. 1, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

Figure eight follow through. There are two versions of this knot; each has a different function. One allows you to join two lines; the other permits you to create a loop of any size in the end of the rope. It's a bit slower to tie than a bowline, but just as effective. 5, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through
