Pass the loop of the bight up the two turns to produce a Capuchin Knot

Now invert the loop down over the knot body. It won’t matter which way you do this.

Push the loop towards the body of the knot to ease out 2 strands from the back of the knot

Continue to pull these 2 strands and slide the loop up to jam against the body of the knot. You have now formed 2 loops with the 2 strands that you pulled through the top of the knot.
