The Form of the Knot in Tzitzit

Question

Regarding a double knot in tzitzit: if in the first knot I inserted the right side, and in the second knot the left side, or vice versa, is there any problem with that? Someone recommended that I do this so that the strings on both sides will remain relatively equal in length after tying.

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

There is no problem with it at all. It is permitted to do this ab initio.
