Two of knots listed that I tied in this Cub evening in the woods were the double slipped reef and double slipped granny knot of which the former is what you should be tying your shoes with.
Tie one bow as you would, and then do the next one but cross them over differently at the start, so if you go left over right first do the second one right over left. Once the bows are tied pull the bunny ears until they come through as a single length on both shoes.
So one will give you a reef knot having once been a double looped reef knot, this is of course the correct knot. If you look at the very first pucture you'll see the one bow sitting at an angle and the other lying across the show, the former is the granny knot and the latter the reef knot.
And the other one will give you an unstable granny knot from a looped granny knot. predictably, this is the one that will give you bother.
Here's a Youtube video showing the above.
