Slide and Lock Bracelet

I used ABOK 781 as the button knot for this project.

You can use this as a soft shackle/carabiner.

(Substitute for a light duty metal carabiner/shackle)

The Locking Knot

Take a separate piece of smaller cord and tie a simple overhand knot snugly around the loop. Leave a short tag end for easier grasping.

Trim off the ends (not shown).
