I have used this method many times in the past but it is funny how I have not seen it posted anywhere..
Tie a figure 8 knot in the end of one rope leaving a long tail. Tie another figure eight knot in the tail of the second rope. to join the two ropes tie the tail of the first rope as a follow through figure eight into the second rope and the tail of the second rope as a follow through into the first.
It is like tying two ropes together with a double fisherman but you are using a figure 8 knot.. this image is as close as I can get
Of course you pull both figure eight knots together as you would with a double fisherman knot then if any tail is left over secure with overhand.
