Braided interlocking loop
An interesting method of joining two thin lines is
this knot, published by British knot-tyer and author
Geoffrey Budworth in 1999. Its main advantage is
that it spreads the load and therefore the wear and
tear over a longer length of line. That means there’s
less likely to be chafe resulting in a nasty surprise. In
addition, the knot has some decorative merit.
1 Tie a fixed loop, such as an overhand loop, in the end of one line.
