Single Column Loop
Notice the running end, going towards my wrist, is looping below the other line
From above, reach through to grab the bight
The running end goes under the loop — CORRECT
Here's the loop. Assuming the bight is behind, we'll make a loop by twisting the running end. The way you twist the rope affects the outcome.
Here, twist so that the running end is behind in the loop you are making. Show correctly on the left (see picture above; in the picture below, my thumb covers the cross making it hard to see) — the running end is behind in the loop.
Showing it incorrect on the right — the running end is in front of the loop.

This will hold for many purposes, but is prone to collapsing.
