I learned this as the diamond knot and frequently use it as a stopper or finnishing knot for lanyards

Thank you so much! I know this is very old, but I was having a lot of trouble tightening up this knot because I was making a small mistake... The way you showed it was so clear. Thanks!!

A soothing and methodical teacher. I was searching for a means to tie a decorative knife lanyard knot and stumbled onto this. Mesmerizing.

Best video of the lanyard knot I have seen to date....get confused with Ashley's Book!! Many thanks

I'm a photographer and at the end of the day I give my client their work on a usb stick. In order to make mine a little more personalised I tie a single lanyard knot to the usb as a little fob like thing. I've now been doing that for years and all that time I didn't know the knot could be doubled and even tripled. Thank you for this great video. Every day I learn something new is a good day.

Great demo. The spooky bit is when you said "That;s itt' as if you were watching me do it.

Your remarkable skill in teaching us this is only outshined by your soft skin and nice manicure!

[johnlinquist]

A great, plain explanation and demonstration of how to tie these 2 knots. I particularly like that you emphasise that one should tighten the knot gently in order to maintain the shaape, after all these days we tie these knots for relaxation so why rush?

Johnny Debt; you make it look so simple. I was in the Navy in the 60's, and was always fascinated at the ship's Boatwains's Mates when they were sitting around shooting  the breeze and tying various knots. I was unable to grasp them then, and now, as a Grandfather learning to make Paracord bracelets with my Granddaughter I'm still having a difficult time although persistence is now paying off.!

Thank you for this excellent and easy to follow guide. Years ago I made the two double boatswain whistles as you suggested here using black cordage and orange twine French whipped in between them and it made a handsome car key lanyard which I seek to replace with the help of your video and some new cordage.

Yours is possibly the best video I've ever seen of this knot, and also the clearest explanation of the tying technique. Some decorative knots can be frustrating to learn, especially from static diagrams, but here you show that the symmetry of the finished knot arises from the symmetries in the tying process itself. Knot on, Dude!

BTW - Can you tell me what cordage you used here, (diameter, material)? I'm growing SO tired of paracord! 🙂

I just wanted to note that Ashley describes the knot (788) with the leads doubling along the inside of the knot. The differences are subtle and can be found by looking at the weave encircling the loop.

As alway a great video that really shows the beauty and function of a knot, thank you!

[vernonpahl]

Wonderful instruction at a pace where if I follow along I am not hitting PAUSE every three to four seconds. Wonderful tempo. Well done. Coach whipping? Thanks, Vern

Como siempre gran trabajo el suyo, gracias por compartir.
