Virtually all bends (i.e. end-to-end joining knots) have a corresponding 'eye knot'. For example, the Sheet bend (ABoK #1431) has a corresponding eye knot which is none other than the common (#1010) Bowline. The Zeppelin bend is formed from 2 superposed loops of opposite [[chirality]].

There are two versions of the zeppelin eye knot depending on how it is tied.

# around and through the knot along with the main part ( thus passing simultaneously through all 3 of the original underhand knot, the noose and the last round of itself).

File:ZB3.JPG|The working end is lead around the edge of the underhand knot, and through the loop of the [[noose]]

File:ZB4.JPG|The working end is lead around the knot to reenter and cross it alongside the main part ( thus passing through all 3 loops of underhand knot, [[noose]] and its own).
