2 Strand Stopper/lanyard Knot

Good use for short bits of cord The late Dan Callahan introduced me to this knot

Middle a length of cord and make a loop with the right hand strand

Bring the left hand strand up through the loop and down to the right . . . .

. . . . and up through the loop

Bring the same strand down and up through the loop

Bring the right hand strand around and up through the loop

Start the tightening process. Bight A will rest between the strands at a. Bight B will end up between the strands at b

As you tighten you will have to nudge bights into their proper spot
