[Nowadays this is generally danced with the first couple improper:
Side with partner; back to back partner
Side with neighbour; back to back neighbour
Two-hand turn neighbour once and a half; two-hand turn partner once
Ones full figure eight up through twos (who can cast to turn it into a double-figure-eight if they like)
In the Graded Series Cecil Sharp says (sk.s.) for the full figure eight in B2.]
