This tutorial is based on the tutorial found in the December 2015 issue of Knotting Matters, publication of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. I usually use the ring and middle fingers of my left hand instead of the dowel shown.
Bring the two ends around as shown

Bring the right hand end to left and down as shown and bring the other end to the right, up and to the left Over 2, Under 1 and over

Bring the left hand strand Over 2, Under 1

I find it easier to tighten the knot as much as possible before taking it off the dowel (fingers) bring the ends as shown

To double bring each end parallel to the strand coming fron the loop as shown, follow that stand around and down through the middle of the knot at the obvious point.
