In reply to mmmhumous:
Several choices, some easier to escape than others which can make a difference if you're untying in an awkward spot before scrambling off:
Larksfoot the rope onto the belay loop by pulling a bight through then stepping through it. <no loop formed, cumbersome to untie, looks nasty loaded on one strand so maybe best reserved for seconding>
Bowline started on two strands then finish as for the larksfoot working the surplus back through the knot until it's snug. <neat, strong, really awkward to escape>
Fig8, Overhand or Bowline on the bight tied using two strands where you'd normally use one. <familiar, easy to untie, bulky>
Use a krab or two. Not the best solution but adequate for top roping where you're aware of the risks. <quick, easy, accidental unclipping>
