Surgeon's loop

"Double loop" redirects here. For the former roller coaster at Geauga Lake amusement park, see Double Loop (Geauga Lake).

The Surgeon's loop (a.k.a. Double Loop) is tied the same way as the surgeon's knot but with a double strand. Therefore, this knot does use more line than most. It is a bit bulky but is great for making quick, strong loops at the end of lines and leaders for connecting to other loops.
