Lanyard Adjuster II

This knot slides on the lanyard to adjust the size of the loop.

It is a single strand diamond knot. (4B, 3L TH knot with the ends coming out the middle of the knot)

Note: When you tie ths knot with synthetic (slippery) material the ends can work their way back through the knot causing it to collapse. A dab of glue between the ends and the knot will prevent this.
Although it is not necessary to glue the ends when tying the knot when using cotton cord you will not be remiss in doing so.

When the diamond knot is sufficiently tight tie a constrictor knot around each end close to the knot. Trim the ends.

You could also cut the ends and add a dab of clear glue (or melt ends of synthetic material.
