For a really reliable eye splice go with a locked Brummel and as
always, "a bit more tail please".
It's best not to try and figure it out... just do it and smile.
Here's a simple example from one of our favourite sites:

Google "Amsteel eye splice" or something similar. There's lots of
information on line. Even videos.

Subject: Stus-List Splicing Amsteel
I have just been persuaded by West Marine to use Amsteel to make a
short (2ft) strop to raise the upper swivel on my roller furler so
that the entry/exit angle to the sheave is better to prevent a
halyard wrap. In the store, they made it sound so easy to splice
round a thimble.!
Essentially they told me to pass the end of the line through the
working section, and then back through one side and feed the end up
inside the working section. Sounded easy! Anyone done this and got
any tips? I can get the first stage done, but do not seem to be
able to get the loose end inside the working section!
