~~'''Steps description''': start with making a two identical loops on a~~ rope ~~(1,2). Then place one loop over~~ the ~~other~~ in ~~a way~~ that ~~the end-ropes are~~ surrounded by the rope between the loops (3). Pull a carabiner through the loops (4). Tighten the knot by sequentially pulling on the ends a few times and lock the gate (5,6,7). At the end, do not forget to inspect the hitch and the gate lock (8).

To safely tie and inspect the knot, remember that the rope ends coming out of the knot should be sticking in the opposite directions and that they should be surrounded by the section of the rope that stem from between the loops.
