So having immediately tried this knot, I cannot get it to lay with the laces to the side like that. Mine turns vertical. My first assumption was that I was making a granny knot, but it doesn't matter which way around I knot the second knot.

Is this just a failing of this knot or am I doing something wrong?

You are making berluti version of granny knot or granny version of berluti knot (which may very well be the same thing but I just can't decide how to name this correctly).

Well yes, that much I figured, but that happens no matter which way around I tuck the loops. I'm looking more specifically for what to do differently to not end up with a granny variation.

>>Doxin+Hm7
The idea of correct version is that the loops (ears) come out parallel to the part that is horizontal under tension.

I don't remember how to tie the knot. Instead when I am in the middle of tying it I imagine which way the ears will come out and if it will not go the correct way I take the other direction (there is only two possible ways to tie it).
