I think that's the "quarter turn" method.

In reality, all the methods are the same:

  • Over-under, does one loop, then the next one with a quarter turn, then continues back and forth like that
  • Figure 8, does a quarter turn, then pulls one coil up against the other
  • Quarter turn, what you described
  • Flaking, is just over-under with a longer loop
