Help Identifying a Knot - Keychain

Welcome to the forum @acornrun

[I’m posting a copy of the photo you’ve linked to because Pinterest is an utterly maddening and bizarre site, on which you can’t actually just see or zoom a photo, you can only do some weird image matching search… I just pulled the actual image URL from the page source.]

Anyway, my personal hatred of Pinterest aside, here is the photo:

And I think that knot is a single Bosun’s Whistle Lanyard Knot which is described in ABoK (#788)

How to tie it

Two great YouTube tutorials here
IGKT Solent Branch How to Tie a Sailor's Knife Lanyard Knot

It’s also described in Des Pawson’s Knot Craft

The knot is often doubled, which makes it look a little like a Turk’s Head tied around the standing part of a rope.
