If you have noticed the scrolling marquee, I stated that
changes are coming to my blog. From this point forward, almost every knot
design that I post will be accompanied by a tutorial that will show how I tied
the knot. I will only be adding a
tutorial if the knot meets the following criteria:
- If there are no tutorials for the knot freely available online.- If the tutorial(s) that are available aren’t clear or I feel that I can add something to make it easier to tie the design.
The first tutorial is a four strand braid and you can find
tutorials for this design online, but I found that they could be easier to
explain. I know that this braid is called many different names, but since I am
going to try and better the tutorial from the BoondoggleMan,
I will keep the name that he gave it.
DOWNLOAD THE TUTORIAL
With every tutorial that I add, I will provide a link to
download the tutorial so that you will be able to store each tutorial on your
computer for future use. To view the
tutorials on your computer, you will need Adobe Reader which is
available for free download.

CORD USED
You need four strands of cord to tie this knot; you can use
two strands by splitting the strands in the middle which is the way the
tutorial will show.
CORD RATIO
If splitting the cord as shown in the tutorial, 3 inches of
cord will result in 1 inch of finished cord (3” per every inch needed).

I tied approximately thirty inches of the DiamondBraid Stitch and then connected the two ends together with a knot that I
covered up with a HeadHunter’s Knot and then I tied a Knife Lanyard Knot that
connects to Monkey’sFist that is wrapped around a regular Table Tennis (ping pong) ball. The total amount
of cord used to tie the Monkey’s Fist Lanyard was about 18 feet of Panda Camo
and about 9 feet of White paracord.
