hello Dravonk & FunSlinger...
...whether or not the knot would collapse might depend
on whether you made it with one strand or two??...also there
must be dozens of little designs you could make for these
little pouches if you used a CAD program...and the type of
cord might make a difference too....
...i've been putting sources for different cords in
The Pineapple Knot Forum >Knotical Resources:
http://knotical-arts.com/pineapple/index.php...as for the small knot, the knot shown is the "sailor's knife
lanyard knot" (diamond knot)....the Matthew Walker Knot would
work great....there is a whole chapter in ABOK on single strand
lanyard knots....and another chapter on double strand lanyard
knots!....that ocean plait (prolong) knot sling looks great!...
