This is a good way of providing a loop in the middle of a line or for making an emergency bosun’s chair. It’s not comfortable to sit in but it does work.
To form a Bowline on the Bight take a bight of the line, apply it to the standing part and twist in the normal manner resulting in its sticking up through a turn of the standing part. The protruding ‘ear’ is pulled through, spread out and dropped over the two part main loop. It is brought up above the turn of the standing part and settled down. It then looks just like a doubled Bowline but without the usual end inside the main loop.
