Paracord Lanyard Knot

How to make a lanyard knot: a photo tutorial.

Step 1: form a loop with the working end under the standing end.

Step 2: take the other end of the cord. To make it easier to understand I used a different color of paracord. Pull the working end of the desert tan paracord under the loop.

Step 3: Pull the working end of the desert tan paracord over the standing part of the green paracord.

Step 4: make a bight with the working end of the desert tan paracord and pull it under the working end of the green paracord.

Step 5: pull the desert tan paracord over the right side of the loop of the green paracord.

Step 6: pull the working end of the desert tan paracord under it’s own standing part.

Step 7: continue to pull the working part of the desert tan paracord over the left side of the green paracord loop. You now see a diamond shape in the middle.

Step 8: with the working end of the green paracord you make a bight to the top and pull it over the standing part of the desert tan paracord.

Step 9: pull the working end of the green paracord under both loops into the diamond shape.

Step 10: pull further and make a bight to the right.

Step 11: take the desert tan paracord and make a bight to the left over the standing part of the green paracord.

Step 12: pull the desert tan paracord under both loops, trough the diamond shape and make a bight to the left.

Step 13: tighten everything up.

Step 14: and we end up with a nicely knotted lanyard knot.
