Beaver tail (double chain plait)
This is a bulkier and more good-looking version of the daisy chain, single trumpet, or bugle
cord (see page 287); it is, therefore, also referred to as a “double trumpet, or bugle, cord.”
Close to what will be the standing end of the cord, form a couple of overhand loops, then pluck a
bight from the long working end through both of them (1). Pull another bight through the next
two loops (2), and repeat this process as long as cord and enthusiasm last (3). Remove unwanted
slack before drawing out each new bight. Finally, make a locking tuck with what remains of the
working end, by pushing it through the two last bights that were made (4).
