Now work all the slack out of the knot. Cut each end as close as possible to the completed knot. Tak a blunt awl and bush the end back into the knot. Adjust the adjoining strands to hide the ends.

single strand lanyard adjustable loops

If the single strand lanyard knot is tied without the overhand knot to lock it in place, the knot will slide on the cord to give adjustable size loops. This works best in natural material such as this cotton sash cord. Paracord and other synthetic material is too slippery for the knot to stay in place. This shows what I think of when I have trouble falling asleep.

This is great!
The other day I was thinking on how to achieve this. Thank you for this tutorial. I’ll try it this week for my dog whistle.
