Braided Paracord


I'm not sure what to call this. I guess it's a keyfob. I was really just practicing the joining of two braids into one. The eye is a 4 strand braid, and the ends join into an 8 strand braid. On the bottom I tied a Little Lump Knot. I was hoping to make it a little longer, but I cut the strands a bit too short (it really just started as an exercise rather than a project). If I do this again I'll make it longer, and maybe use a thimble in the eye. Then to hold the thimble in place maybe I'll tie a Turk's Head around the base.
