Thank you for this excellent and easy to follow guide. Years ago I made the two double boatswain whistles as you suggested here using black cordage and orange twine French whipped in between them and it made a handsome car key lanyard which I seek to replace with the help of your video and some new cordage.
Thank you , you explained the knot comprehensively and it is very symmetrical , thank you again , Cheers
Wow, that is a very old video from when I first stated out. Glad that it was helpful ................... Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This is a demonstration that stands out from the majority of Lanyard/Diamond knots (ABOK #787 single, #ABOK #788) demonstrations as it shows a mirrored ie left handed version. I have read several people bemoaning the fact that there are not more left handed instructions. I perceive this as a stumbling stone for these tyers to get a knot. Although I can tie #787 in my sleep I had a moment of trouble with the initial loop. Good one!
A soothing and methodical teacher. I was searching for a means to tie a decorative knife lanyard knot and stumbled onto this. Mesmerizing.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. You may also be interested in my Blog Posts here: igkt-solent.co.uk/blog/ Loads of stuff to look at etc.
finally someone with a simple walk through. thanks so much
A successful creation of this knot on my first attempt! You are a Masterful Instructor, providing simple easy to follow directions.
Show me more! A delight and pleasure to learn from you.
Thank you for your kind words, it surprises me that my very old videos are liked............. they look awful to me, compared to the newer ones.
@KnottingKnots Knotting is a treasure that most have forgotten about, they just don't have time in this hurried culture. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. One of the skills I'd also like to learn is suturing. There are nurses even today that don't know this important skill, and it uses; you guessed it...knots!
Beautiful knot.
As alway a great video that really shows the beauty and function of a knot, thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Impressive , Excellent instructions. ...easy to follow ......thanks for sharing !
I am glad that you liked it, thanks for leaving a comment. Are you a decorative or practical knotter?
Como siempre gran trabajo el suyo, gracias por compartir.
I learned this as the diamond knot and frequently use it as a stopper or finnishing knot for lanyards
............ and I bet they look smart? 😉 😉 😉
Great demo. The spooky bit is when you said "That;s itt' as if you were watching me do it.
Glad that you liked it, what do you plan on making with this knot?
Thank you so much! I know this is very old, but I was having a lot of trouble tightening up this knot because I was making a small mistake... The way you showed it was so clear. Thanks!!
Glad it worked out for you, are you just practising or creating a project?
@@KnottingKnots Just practicing for now. I tie knots to relax. But I'm not sure if it's working :)
@@stephanddd Ah yes, you think you can relax, but sometimes trying to tie a knot can be so frustrating!!! Forgot to mention the sore fingers 😉 😉 😉
Best video of the lanyard knot I have seen to date....get confused with Ashley's Book!! Many thanks
Ashley's Book of Knots is a good reference book for ideas, but I personally find it hard to follow some of the knots. That is why I started this channel, it was just for me to remember how to tie certain knots...................... then other came to watch them too 😉 😉 😉
Excelente. Un nudo decorativo muy fácil de hacer
Excellent . Very clear instructions.
Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other peoples knot-craft or knotting solutions? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: bit.ly/yourknotwork
I just wanted to note that Ashley describes the knot (788) with the leads doubling along the inside of the knot. The differences are subtle and can be found by looking at the weave encircling the loop.
Your remarkable skill in teaching us this is only outshined by your soft skin and nice manicure!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
A great, plain explanation and demonstration of how to tie these 2 knots. I particularly like that you emphasise that one should tighten the knot gently in order to maintain the shaape, after all these days we tie these knots for relaxation so why rush?
Totally agree with you!!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Very helpful
I'm a photographer and at the end of the day I give my client their work on a usb stick. In order to make mine a little more personalised I tie a single lanyard knot to the usb as a little fob like thing. I've now been doing that for years and all that time I didn't know the knot could be doubled and even tripled. Thank you for this great video. Every day I learn something new is a good day.
I love to see people that take an extra step in giving, it makes the experience for all much better. I saw someone get this (see link below) thoe other day and I thought then what a good idea in making the experience more memorable. Nice touch what you are doing for your clients! What sort of photographer are you?

Excelente..the way you teachinng us
Many thanks, what are you planning to use this knot on?
Johnny Debt; you make it look so simple. I was in the Navy in the 60's, and was always fascinated at the ship's Boatwains's Mates when they were sitting around shooting the breeze and tying various knots. I was unable to grasp them then, and now, as a Grandfather learning to make Paracord bracelets with my Granddaughter I'm still having a difficult time although persistence is now paying off.!
I see that you were in the USN, I personally was R.N. in the 70s. I always was amazed just how much talent there was on board a ship. Not just knotting, but also other skills as well! Keep at it shippers, knots are only there to test our patience.
Johnny Debt - "shippers, knots are only there to test our patience."
It's working! ;-)
Yours is possibly the best video I've ever seen of this knot, and also the clearest explanation of the tying technique. Some decorative knots can be frustrating to learn, especially from static diagrams, but here you show that the symmetry of the finished knot arises from the symmetries in the tying process itself. Knot on, Dude!
BTW - Can you tell me what cordage you used here, (diameter, material)? I'm growing SO tired of paracord! 🙂
Glad it was helpful! I wish I could tell you what the cordage was, as this is a very old video (9 years). I would say though, any good "hard lay" cordage will produce a fine knot. This also works well in Paracord. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for this - it's made my day- seeing the knot emerge was fantastic. Nice and clear and easy paced, thanks again
I have to say that I do love this symmetrical knot!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Very informative and easy to follow
I am with you there, this is one of my favourite knots.
This video is so old now, glad that you found it easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you Bro 👌🏻
What will you use it for?
Great info ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Good one John! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful instruction at a pace where if I follow along I am not hitting PAUSE every three to four seconds. Wonderful tempo. Well done. Coach whipping? Thanks, Vern
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
friendship knot thanks
Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Are you a decorative knotter?
Plz call me
Wonderfully clear and concise tutorial for this beautiful knot. I like the heavier cord you used, could you share what it is and the size--1/2", 3/4", etc.? Thank you.
To be honest, this was made so long ago and I do not remember. I have found though, that this seems to work in just about any size of cordage. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnotsI’ve made both styles in 2mm nylon guyline, paracord 550, as well as bigger ropes, it should work in almost any size. Works better with rope that maintains a cylinder than with rope that flattens out.
@@JasperJanssen Yes you are right about that. I also use this one when making soft shackles in Dyneema, I do love my soft shackles, great workhorses 😉 😉 😉
At 2:00 which end is the "working end"?
How do you know how much cord to use?
Basically this particular knot can be done with small off cuts, about 12 - 18 inches long. In general when I use this knot on a lanyard, I use the double and and single version on one lanyard. There is a video here that shows that: ua-cam.com/video/RnfD_o1YANY/v-deo.html Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. I assume that you are a decorative knotter?
now if someone will teach me to untie it, I'll be all set
A marlinspike helps. Working from the loop side, get the tip under the line after it comes out from under under the first crossed line. Continue pushing and working the marlinspike in and you'll be able to pull a good bit of slack from the loop. Work that slack around through the not, leaving some behind as you go, and you'll get to a point where you can free up an end and move it back out through the not.
I'm fairly new to decorative knots, you call this a double landyard knot, I've seen the same in other tutorials and it's called a double diamond knot. Is there a differance I'm not seeing ?
Hello David,
Trying to tie a knot is hard enough and then there is tying to remember all the names, just to add to the confusion some knots have different names. I personally always try to refer to Ashley Book of Knots, even there some knots have multiple names.
John
Thanks John, I was going to buy Ashleys Book Of Knots then I saw the price, may be next Christmas..I am now subscribed to you thanks for the Tutorials.
The ABoK is a really great book. Personally speaking, a far better book for beginners is Des Pawson's Knot Craft. I did a short video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/1IbcXOcis68/v-deo.html I find this book guides you step by step, making complete useful decorative items. Take a look on eBay for a copy?
I also did a short review on ABoK here: ua-cam.com/video/OP-QysGRCZA/v-deo.html
will certainly check them out , many thanks.
how do you find that rope
Please see my previous comment.
Soporífero......
Would a Red Bull help?
At 2:29 you have a Carrick bend, as I am sure you know.
Yep, that is correct. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Boatswains Pipe
Not whistle
As I am an old ex RN Stoker, I am sure that you can excuse me. I think if I recall, how many people would actually search pipe. Toottoooot Toottoooot call the hands call the hands.... 😉
I am speaking for the US Navy. My apologies. However we did get our roots from the British. Even our CO would say "Bosun, Pipe the sides!"
I love to search for UA-cam videos showing the old Navy, when ships were made of wood and men were made of steel. Well not really, but is sounded good in my head. When you look at old footage, you have to wonder if this was the birth of health and safety?
Speaking as a ''deck-ape'', the correct RN term for this instrument is a 'call' and it is used to 'pipe' orders etc. The Bosun's mates /quartermasters would wear it on a chain rather than the uniform lanyard, which, no doubt, stokers used, in tandem with several others and any other gash 'string to hand, as a washing line deep in the mysterious bowels of any given vessel of the Grey Funnel Line; the whole cunningly held together and strung across those dark fetid spaces with several of the many versions of the multi-faceted and legendary 'dhobey hitch' known only to those of The Ancient Order of The Bilge Rat.........
By the way, enjoyed the vid, and watching closely it cleared an issue I had with the leads crossing after the final tucks through the middle, cheers!

Nice! An ex matelot:) have a sub! 🏴🇬🇧⚓️
Skimmer I hope, what branch?
@@KnottingKnots greenie! The stoker version on leanders! You must have been a dabber :)
@@stevieb5008 How RUDE, no mate, I was a stoker. I really only started this channel a few years back, so that I could remember how to tie knots. I was mainly GMD's then carriers, but remember the dockyard (Portsmouth) being full of leanders.
Soga
¿Eso es una pregunta?
This knot has many names but they are all misleading because it is a 3l X 4b Turks head made with 2 cords
It's not a whistle! It's a Boatswain call.
I followed you perfectly and my knot looks like a sagging lump ! Wha happend ?
I was only looking at this video yesterday, and decided that it was horrible. I have now made a new video that will be live at 1400 GMT. I will post the link when it is live.
Here is the other version that I promised you: ua-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHeATS7HnM3DyoAyy2ivbkR6.html please let me know how you got on with it.
there's no such thing as a boatswains whistle! it's a Boatswains call!
Being ex RN, I also know it as a pipe or a call. However, Ashley's Book of Knots also refers to it as a Whistle. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
