               Braided loop




               Some loops have specific practical applications to


               which  they  are  very  well  suited  –  but  they’re  not
               necessarily the prettiest of knots. When it comes to


               making  a  lanyard  for  your  binoculars,  for  instance,
               you might feel tempted to go for something a little

               more decorative. Alternatively, you might just need

               a good practical knot to put a loop in the end of a

               fishing line. Either way, the braided loop will serve.


























                       1  Form a pair of bights in the line, leaving a long working end.
