Hi All,
I met a fellow named Brett at my son’s fencing lesson about a week ago. Brett was making slings and we started chatting.
I made a suggestion about how to explain the figure-eight. “ Back-scratch”.
. Brett gifted me a sling even before we had discussed much.
I attempted to recall from memory how a four-strand lanyard weave is done.
I failed, I did find the following, which shows how it is done.
I’m passing the link along in good-faith and make no claims. I found it via google.com.

Thanks again to Brett for the gifted sling.

Nowadays I prefer it to the three strand braid because it is more flexible and bends equally in all directions.
