Look up UniKnot. That's what I use to tie tackle onto fishing line, and you can tie two of them to join a line, that's what your pic looks like to me.

By the by... that big ol' loop is not safe for grabbing on in surf if that figures into your plans... a single line, tie a figure eight knot to keep it from coming through the hole in the stem, then tie a monkey's fist on the end. (or rather, make the monkey fist first, then tie it to the stem)
