What is the most easily adjustable Bunny Ears knot?

Hi all, as the title says,
Looking for a knot that results in two (or more) bights and offers the most convenient way to adjust the length of the ears (bights) once the knot has been tied.

EDIT: would you be so kind as to provide a link to a description of the knot? Sometimes names can be ambiguous.

Thanks!

I’m a fan of the bowline on a bight, it gives you two loops that are easily adjusted and it’s easy to untie after hanging on it.

Bowline on a bite. Easy to tie, great for a simple two bolt anchor with the rope, doesnt use much rope either.

thanks, I looked for it and tried it, it feels pretty easy to adjust the length of one or the other bight.

Not one knot but if making rope anchors two figure 8 on a bights next to each other on the rope and clipping both with lockers is a simple way to do the same thing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
