As you may know, I'm not a big proponent of the Perfection Loop in
rope except in cases where you're certain you don't ever need to untie
it. There are several ways of tying it, but often a very simple way
seems to be overlooked.

Lets start off with the first diagram on this page, ignoring the arrow
path:

http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/butterflyloop.html

Lets number the strands against the tyer's palm as 1, 2, and 3 from
left to right.

First, you draw strand 1 right, under strands 2 & 3. Then you draw
strand 2 right over strand 3 and through the bight made from strand 1.
Done.

You may choose to use a finger or two in small stuff rather than your
entire palm, as appropriate.

Cheers,
roo
