Lanyard/ Diamond Knot Tutorial

The diamond knot is used to make a fixed, decorative loop at the middle of a cord that could be a lanyard, paracord, leather, rope, etc. It is also known by the names Bosun’s whistle, lanyard and knife lanyard knots. The two strand knot that is implemented here in a single strand can be made with two ropes or a single rope. Though it looks hard to tie at first, it becomes easy and quick with practice.
