Well yes, that much I figured, but that happens no matter which way around I tuck the loops. I'm looking more specifically for what to do differently to not end up with a granny variation.
The idea of correct version is that the loops (ears) come out parallel to the part that is horizontal under tension.
I don't remember how to tie the knot. Instead when I am in the middle of tying it I imagine which way the ears will come out and if it will not go the correct way I take the other direction (there is only two possible ways to tie it).
