This is a fun knot, it looks like a cool overhand knot but is a bit tricky to tie. I've had some fun with know it all kids who just assumed it was an over hand knot and quickly become frustrated in figuring it out.
I can't remember where I found it and I haven't been able to locate it on line. It could be considered a decorative knot.
1. This knot is usually tied in a loop going through the lanyard hole, but to make it easier to see I tied it in two colored lines.
2. I'm left handed so you may need to reverse, green line is looped behind then in front of red line, and in front of itself.
3. Loop the red line over then behind the green line behind itself.
4. Continue the path of the red line, doubling it, keeping the line parallel to itself.
5. Now double the green line, the bitter ends will be in the center of the knot.
6. Pinching the bitter ends together and the standing ends together, then slowly and evenly work the knot tight. The knot will look the same on both sides.
