Knot Suggestion Needed

We're getting ready to tarp the boat for winter. Bought a bag of Griff-Clips and a bunch of bungee cords. As luck would have it, the eyelets on the Griff-Clips are too small for the hooks on the bungee cords. So I was thinkin' of making some loops/rings out of small rope. Question is: What knot to use? Ideally it shouldn't take up much rope, but it needs to remain secure under varying, or no, load.

Suggestions?

Btw: Fooling with a double fisherman's knot, I accidentally came up with a new one. I wonder what it is? Seems secure. If I can't find it, I'll post a picture of what I've got, and maybe somebody else can identify it.
