OMG I did not even know I didn’t know how to tie my shoes! I was tying granny knots instead of square knots. I have been double-knotting my laces for years because they would keep coming undone. No longer! Great link there, Mr. Graehl.
I never learned the bunny ears method, but according to that same web site, it results in the same knot as the standard method.
It’s the same knot, but bunny ears result in both loops being on one side of the central knot while the other results in them being opposite each other. While not generally of much note (or importance) in shoelaces, bunny ears result in a neater-looking knot.
Yes, the result should be the same after settling. I used to double knot as well. I did learn to tie his recommended alternate shoelace knot, but it wasn’t worth switching for me.
