What I've done recently instead of a knot is looping the strands in the braid back into itself, creating (1) an extra-thick length of braid that can begin and end where you need it, and (2) makes it so that the braid terminates in three loops, instead of six individual strands, which makes for a cleaner end and eliminates fraying. On this sling (see below), I have one "lump" at where my thumb and index finger rest when the sling is even, and another where my little finger would rest.
On a separate note, does the phrase "six-strand" or "three-strand" refer to the number of continuous strands used in the braid, or how many strands thick the braid is? The method I use to make my slings involves starting the braid in the middle of the strands, and then folding it over and braiding the two halves together, turning a 3-strand braid into a six-strand braid, or a six-strand braid into a twelve-strand, and so on.

“For as this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, 'tis necessary that it should be observed and explained; and... a reason should be given, for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it. ..[V]ice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason.”
