I never mastered the most common single loop method; it never made sense to me to have an asymmetrical way to tie a symmetrical knot, so I used the bunny ears with two loops, until I learned about the Ian knot with zero loops, and it's a very easy and quick way to tie your shoes.

The resulting knot is the same with all of them, however. Either the regular knot or the granny knot, depending on how you do them.
