This is a great little technique I learned from Ken Cardwell of Knivesandlanyards.com when I asked for suggestions on creating a 4-strand round braid loop for a lanyard without ending up with 8 strands. He shared his approach with me on the Usual Suspects Network forum, and it became a key component of my SkogKniv lanyard design. Please also visit SkogKniv's youtube channel and see a video he did upon receipt of the custom lanyard • Video . Another great application of this loop would be in making the wrist loop on a dog leash!
Hi, I’m new to this and heard you mention a video about getting the right length of cord for a job. Could you please point me into the right direction? I like how you explain stuff! Cheers
First of your videos I have watched, just beginning my journey into tying paracord, enjoyed this quite a bit.
On your comment about blocked rude people - one of the issues we have in society today is people believing they have to tolerate rude and crude behavior. We don't. I applaud your actions.
How do you make the lanyerds in you show at the start of the vid?
THIS TUTORIAL WAS VEERY HELHFUL, THANK YOU, I LIKE HOW CLEAN AND WELL DONE WAS MADE; THANKS AGAIN!!!
The article on determining the length of paracord required for different projects is missing. Could you repost it? I want to make a 4 strand round braid hat brim but do not know how much paracord to use
It's here I checked! blog.paracordist.com/2013/03/how-do-you-estimate-amount-of-550-cord.html?m=1
Kevin once again a great tutorial. Thank you. I love the "secretary" and the kids. Youre doing a great job sir, dont change a thing. keep it up.
Anyone who is bothered by the sound of typing in the background of your videos is just getting too frustrated and should take a break. If that doesn't help them relax a little then maybe they should find something that requires less patience. Those bothered by the sound of the children who often surround you really need to learn the more important of the two things that you impart when the kids are around. The lesser of your practices
being the braiding and the much greater lesson being taking care of, and teaching children how to have fun while learning and working. Your interaction with the kids is entertaining so carry on as you have been and thank you for it all.
The title makes it sound like this video teaches the 4 strand round braid. I had to watch for 2 minutes and 20 seconds to figure out that you don't go into it, you said you'd link to the video but you didn't.
Lauren Snyder he just showed you the round braid

i prefer to hear your secretary moaning
I know this video is 8 years old, but I'll add this comment for new viewers:
If you count things as you braid, this technique is basically Under 2 - Back-Over 1. I abbreviate this U2 - B-O1.
He is showing the "straight" pattern. If you want the "twist" look, then just alternate the colors on the first step - Dark-Light-Dark-Light.
He starts with Dark-Dark-Light-Light which gives his pattern a "straight" look.
Overall the technique is the same (U2 - B-O1)
Take care everyone and have a blessed day.
5 years on and your video is still the best instructional, easy to follow youtube I've found, you came up 1st in my search, now I'm making braids of my own. Big thank you and best wishes to your family.
This has got to be one of the worst tutorials I've watched. Had to slow down the video to .25 speed, but still could not understand what is going on. No auditory explanation. I don't care if there is a secretary typing, what I care about is the steps being explained. I could work with "Put left most string over whatever, put rightmost string over what ever." Nothing. And the fingers. Blocking the strands that I could not see anything. Sheesh.
I just subscribe. I really appreciate that you do not tolerate bad behavior by your subscribers. Thank you for that. I enjoyed your video and hope to learn about about paracord braiding and it's uses. I want to use it to attach my gloves and mittens to a leash or bracelet.
What a great video and your website is awesome!
Thank-you for sharing your expertise.
***** Thanks for watching and commenting. Please share what you like with others!
@@ParacordistCreations Where exactly is your website now?
There's another tutorial on how to do a four strand braid that I suppose is a little easier to do than this method (not much easier), BUT, this one is a lot tighter and cleaner in my opinion. Thank you for your tutorial.
Horrible video really you ocult the beginning of the tuist, I am trying to lern and between the video and the book I have it get worst,hope after 30 or so repetitions I can have x-ray vision to understand
My comment: I Prefer Neither . HOW about you record when your kid is sleeping and your "secretary" is watching tv..... LOL
Wow! Thanks for showing and sharing this tutorial! I'm a newly beginner, so I'm not very used to binding yet, but I hope I'll learn and with the help of your videos I'm sure I will! This loop is very beautiful and I'm sure I will have good use of it!
Best regards! / Sofia in Sweden!
Absolutely brilliant - Thanks Kevin. I will be trying this for a new Leash. It appears so seamless. I hope I can get mine as neat. No reason not to is there? if I follow all your tips. Cheers.
good video.as to the sound part that you talked about it should not be a chouse between the kids and other sounds evin other brade videos iv seen where sometimes outside and still have less sound in there videos.if you wanna make a pro video get a sound proof room and if you want music use music from say your phone or cd player or if your really good at video editing just cut the unwanted sounds out after but for what it is its ok.
Don't let the turkeys grind you down, or take the fun out of what you are doing. In Latin there is a quote: BASTARDES CARBORUNDUM NON! Anyone can write criticism, and there are far too many who do not know how to behave in public. Almost none are making videos or doing anything constructive themselves. Don't give a moments thought to them and we wll thank you for weeding them out!
Apparently you've led a sheltered life. Given the opportunity, there is an immature jerk to fill every niche. Oh, wait--I see. You got it. But the jerks are almost all nonproductive, and lack anything they can point to to show us how to do it better! Never forget that. Take away their anonymity, and they become invisible and silent.
Hey man wuz up!!! Just wanted to congratulate you for share and show your paracord stuff, you make it very clean and neat. I'm learning from you, the bad thing there's no paracord where I live, so I'm using a very cheap cord, it's not even a cord; its shoe laces. But anyways thanx a lot Kevin. P. S. sorry about my English.
Hey bud, anyway you can shoot a vid with this necklace joined to a neck knife like the Becker necker BK14 or Esee Izula? This would make a sweet neck knife necklace. REALLY would appreciate it. I'm a brand new guy on the block with this.
Really good video! Unfortunately the link to where I can see how much cord I need for a project (neck rein for my horse in my case) doesn't work.
Could you please tell me where I can find it?
Thanks!
How would you go about using the 4 strand loop as your closure (if your 4 strand originated at a monkey fist)? Would you come around and close back into the 4 strand with a lanyard knot?
Thnks for knowledge sir. Really appreciate it for sharing the knot. 🤝👍
I ordered 4 fid from you. I hate the burning method it is ugly and some times does not hold. Cant wait to get the fids in and be able to tuck the ends in all nice and secure. Thanks for your videos, going to get adventurous and try some of the other knots you have posted. I think the fids are going to make all the difference in the world to making these now. THANKS SO MUCH
Dude you rock, have just gotten into paracord braiding. looking to make some duck call lanyards. Thanks for your videos and education that you offer. God bless
Thanx!! I just bought some paracord and plan to try to make my own dog show lead. I just need to figure out how to incorporate the chain into the design so it's a Martingale lead. I think this video might have just given me the way to accomplish that :-)
What about working 2 of the working ends through the starting bites somehow? Just wonder if it wouldn't make it even cleaner and smoother. I could be wrong.
Really appreciate your video! This is my first time watching you and I really appreciate your comments on blocking people, there’s no reason for people leaving negative comments. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials! Keep up the good work! This video solved a problem I was having for a camera lanyard. Thanks!
place a scissor snap in each end. make it 8 feet long and sell it as barrel racing reins
I’d love to see that done with leather lacing. I think that would look pretty cool.
Thanks for all the info , and going slow in your video I just started and your video help me out A LOT !!!! LOL keep up the good work
Overall, great video. The instructions given were clear and easy to follow. One small point that seemed a bit odd. I understand recommending that people watch your indepth video on the 4 strand braid, but rather than have a minute or more of silence, why not fill it with some commentary about the process of making the 4 strand braid?
"So im not gonna do much explaining of the 4 strand round braid"...
Pointless vid then pal !!!!
Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate you being family friendly, that's great.
Very nice and I like your block policy. People tend to be very abusive and believe it is all acceptable.
is it really that hard, just to say how much paracord one will need?... instead of saying "you will link it" ☻
For goodness sakes…..do NOT put a commercial in the middle of the video!
Is this loop only tied in with a single strand, Would that not reduce the strength on the entire braid if the loop is going to carry any load?
How would I ensure all strands are tied in with the loop for maximum strength?
I would like to know what to do next after the wall knot i would like the monkey fist knot but. Kinda confusing with 4 strands hanging. Would like t know and willing to start tieing for you
I wanted to thank the Paracordist for these great videos. I've been a knot-head all my life but this is stepping it up a notch! I'm learning a lot and having fun.
After seeing this video I tried different variations of the same idea, splicing the four strand round braid back into itself...either for a loop, or as asked, for a complete circle (necklace). I am finding that when I do it right, it turns into doubled four strand round braid (four pairs of two)
I end up having a loop of four strand round braid with a lead of doubled four strand round braid...that eventually peters out to only four strands again....I can run them all through a ring and weave them back in again, making it doubled four strand all the way back to where it all started....hope that makes sense.
Ciao e grazie per il tuo insegnami ❤ volevo chiederti come faccio a finire il guinzaglio con il moschettone finale?
Have you ever made barrel reins for horses it has a flat braid in it with two to four knots an usually have a round braid in the middle I'm wondering how the burn the ends of them in a triangle shape to finish them so they can be adjusted
How much para-cord did you use? i tried going to the link but it isn't working for me.
Would this work for a 6 strand satin braid? I’m trying to make a leash with a braided loop and a metal o ring to make an all in one slip lead...
Quack quack.....how bout some waterfowl language?
Took me awhile, but I finally got it. The beginning, at the most critical part starting out, and the camera was pointed down a little low and I had a hard time getting a good look at how the cords started out... Other than that, it helped a lot. Thanks!!
As you are only feeding one strand through one bite on the end to form the loop does this mean is technically a weaker join than if you spilled more ends in?
Any suggestions to make it so it can break away in the neck? If I wear a lanyard It must break away in the back.
The thumbs get in the way. What is happening behind the thumbs? Vague...
I need some help i have to make two 3 color 3 strand braid neckleses with buckles can you help me out on a video to do this please.
Untuk pemula sangat bermanfaat,terima kasih.
Such bad Camera shoot.... the Beginning part (most important) par is missing.
super helpful, used this to make my dog leashes!
I just don’t get the braiding. Does the under back over rotate between the top or the bottom cord?
The tutorial would have been better without your fingers hiding what you were doing.
Have you come across any videos or sites that show how to do full halters for horse? Not just the noseband?
14 minutes? Could have been done in 5 min. Content ok, but yawn!!
Assuming that is "550 Cord" will that loop hold 2200lbs? Great videos thank you for the info!
i thought about using it as a tow rope too but i don't think it would be worth the effort. just assuming since i saw your jeep picture.
More for hanging stuff from the roof of the Jeep. Thank you for responding.
hi, how many metres of one colour do I need for 1,5m long dog leash please?
why not just continue the braid after you loop it through itself?
I really like what you have done here. I'm glad that you took it slow and you walked people through like beginners. I'm also grateful for the notes that send them to other places to learn the knots. That's pretty awesome
hey Kevin,i love all your videos.i am desperately trying to figure out how to end an 8 strand round braid.can I use the wall knot? the braid is uneven at the end just cant figure it out. not a lot of info out there on it. lots of 4 strand info. any help would be great.
***** thanks for the reply Kevin.going to give it a go.
The typing isn't half as bad as the camera bounce.
How would you not go into how to braid a round braid, but then title the video how to....... ?
ty mantak aim was to show how to do it and not hide the process with your fingers. thumbs down for you
Hello,
I tried to click on the link for your blog but it says it's not there anymore. I'm trying to figure out how much cord I need for my project.
Try this one blog.paracordist.com/2013/03/how-do-you-estimate-amount-of-550-cord.html?m=1 thanks!
if I wanted to make a say 3ft dog leash how much paraded of each color would I need? can anyone help thanks
+damics20 from my experiance i would say 1 foot of cord per inch, so about 36 feet. But it is always good to have more than needed.
Just got a slogKniv lanyard from this gentleman. And might I say, it was crafted with the upmost of elegance. Not one stitch mistied. Excellent work.
Olivia Wheeland thanks a ton for taking the time to say so!!
Great, easily understood videos! I am actually going to use leather but the techniques are the same. My project is a dog show lead with beads interspersed along the lead. I may use paracord for a core. Is there a way to create a lead with a loop on both ends? One end being the handle loop and the other end a small loop to attach a show collar?
Great video thanks for sharing i guess i am going to have to get my wall knot skills down though. LOL I figured you were gonna finish that with a 4 strand diamond knot? But i like the wall knot looks great!! Thanks again and also i prefer to hear the kids in the back round who doesn't love kids :) if people can't deal with that in your video i guess they should just watch another channel that my opinion on it :)
Awesome instructional. Thanks, man.
hola como aestado como loases
How long of the measurements of needed landyard?
yours looks so much better than mine.
btw. my prior comment was in response to another comment which the poster deleted. peachy. which is why it seems so random.
and lastly, can I make a request? let me know please. thanks
Thanks for the video ... but I have a question ... How do you determine how much paracord to use for a certain length lanyard ??? Again Thanks for the info and vid. ! Great help for me.
Would be alot better without that irratating music
Try keeping your thumbs out of the way!
Please stop talking so much and just do the thing
I preferred it if your fingers weren't in the way, movin on
I do not know why I can not do this but I can do far more difficult projects. I have watched over 6 different videos. I just wind up either with a flat braid or the paracord winds up across the room. I give up. It looks so simple , but my brain isn't getting it. Dam it !!
Thanks
can I go straight in to a cobra braid with a wall knot
Sure. Do a 4 strand wall. Use two cords inside and cobra with other two.
Your priorities are in order, family first!!!
I had no problem with this tutorial. Thank you 😊
That's. good idea to block bad language your vid
hey kevin do u play clash of clans by any chance
My dude, what's with the warbly fish-eye distortion? Your video is literally making me queasy.
Kevin :) please do a tutorial of a dog leash with this four strand thingi :)
Just continue the braid and end by taping the four cords do they don't unravel. Use two strands to tie this knot with a loop. Let the other strands be cut after passing through the knot core. ua-cam.com/video/3wYUg4tLplE/v-deo.html
Great video... talk about splitting paracord hairs. I didnt even notice the typing. Video would have still been great even if it needed to be muted - which it didnt. Probably the same people complaining about the music on kids birthday videos hahaha.
Hi Kevin,
I was hoping you could help me. I already made my 4-strand braid leash to the length I want it but after coming to the end where I wanted to finish my loop I realized using the 4-strand braid for the loop would be a bit rough on my girlfriend's hands when walking the dog so I wanted to transition the loop into a different style braid...something with a round shape like a "sawtooth or corkescrew" but I just can't figure out how to transition the 4 strands for something like that. Any chance you might be able to make a short video making a transition? I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Good vid Kevin. thankyou for mentioning me. One thing I might suggest on your needle nose pliers is to file off the ridges so it is smooth. Less chance to catch on the paracord and snag it. I use mine all the time since like you showed you want the braiding to be consistent and using the pliers to snug things up works great.
Greetings, I really liked the look of this braid. I am planning on making a 6 foot long dog leash. Can you offer two bits of advice. How long of a cords do you think I would need to be able to braid 6 ft, and how would tie the end off to accommodate a clasp at the end.
Cool idea! You would need alot of cord, most knots are 1ft of paracord = 1 in of knot...as for the next question there are many ways of doing so and there a a couple examples on youtube just search paracord keychain clip, its basically the same concept
This blog will help blog.paracordist.com/2013/03/how-do-you-estimate-amount-of-550-cord.html?m=1
I'm trying to tie a 4 strand round braid rope for my work bucket using these loops at each end. The first one would be easy of course but how would I make the other end once the rope is passed through the opposite hole in my bucket?
Hello. Thank you for the video, I am learning a lot. I was wondering if you have the same method for an 8-strand braid. I am totally new to this and need to learn how to make a secure eye at both ends. I guess this is two different questions, but please let me know if you have any guidance on this. Thanks.
I know if I were to make a video, I surely would not allow my wife or any kids interrupt the sound integrity to further enhance the quality of this video series, But I too enjoy your videos!
Thank you for blocking the bad language.
The way this video is shot makes me sick. Why is it like that?
thanks kevin for your aweslme videos. love the kids btw. i came up with a fancy way of dealing with 8 strands for making a dog leash if i can figure out how to send you photos on this thing i will. basiclly you make a length of braid in the middle of your cord as long as you want the loop to be. join them with lanyard knot doubled with the foir you have left (2 on each side,) you cobra stitch back over the loop meeting in the middle and then hiding ends in cobra braid.
