By far the easiest video and instructions for this complicated knot. Tried and failed with a few others but got it first time with these first rate instructions. Thank you!
I've been trying to tie this knot for a couple of days, I finally got it after after watching your video. This is the first one that shows the second strand going BEHIND the left hand stand on your finger and through the middle. All the others block the view with their hand. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so very much! This is the best video demonstration I have seen on diamond knotting. For the first time, after months of trying and failed attempts, I have been able to do my very first diamond knot. Thank you for your patient and wonderful demonstration.
I've tried making this knot for hours now. Just to find more proof that just because someone knows how to do something doesn't mean they know how to explain. This was brilliant. Thank you. I finally got it
Thanks for a great easy explanaition. You seem to be the only one actually teaching others how to succeed. I’ve watched so many other tutorials for this knot and all are unclear and frustraiting. You are a great trainer :)
I agree! You made it much easier to learn. You took the time to show the path, and didn’t just show each step just once, with your hand covering half of the rope, like others often do.
Great tip about the working end. If you have this attached to something, you can still keep track of where you are, also rather then saying around this cord here, "the working end" was a great reference point; especially for me. I don't have to make a lot of these, and this video is quick and easy to follow. Actually will probably always remember how to make the knot now, because of you!! THANKS!!
You should make your own youtube tutorial on the d.k. An interesting fact is that you should start becoming a writer by writing two books. One is the stuff you have to tell, and the other is how to write a book.
Sean, by far the best and easiest demonstration of the diamond knot I have yet to experience. I am new to EDC and decided on lanyards and attractive beads. No doubt a fine EDC and accompanying lanyard replete with a classic paracord knot is a highly-desired skill I acquired. Thank you very much. PS, comments about your conversation when you should be demonstrating are insulting and unworthy and show a lack of appreciation for how I had to spend hours watching others make it difficult instead of the three minutes it took me to understand the intricacies. Best and warm regards,
I've watched a number of other tutorials on this knot, and accomplished nothing more than getting seriously frustrated. This time I got it! Took watching it twice, but it worked for me. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Outstandingly clear and easy explanation! Thank you very much for having solved my beginner's doubts regarding this knot. I bought a best seller book from Amazon about paracord creations because I am not a fan of video tutorials, but yours are a very useful exception.
Ive never been able to tie this knot. Try after try. Books and other RUclips videos didn't help. I was able to follow right along with you and get it the first try. Thanks!
The "working end" thing saved me from a rage quit and smashing my phone to pieces. The last 3 videos the instructor's hands were in the way and it was hard to see even at 1/4 speed. Thanks. Edit: the comment about your battery being low reminded me mine was as well. Plugged it in at 1%. Thanks
Yours is by far the best explanation. The part I always didn't see was that last bit where the string went out of view around the working bit of string from the finger. You explained what I couldn't see when watching other people giving demo 's , so I always stuffed it up😂 But got it now👍
Some of these things will scramble your brains. Lol mine was the square turks head. After 30 some attempts I finally got it. Even revisiting it took 5 or 6 times to get the hang of it back.
I've been trying to follow this knot in another video but could do it. In desperation, I came across this video, and boom!!! Did it first time. Thank you very much. I was nearly put off at first though, because I couldn't under stand while you wasted playing time undoing the previous knot.
I dont normally like or comment on videos these days. But i just wanted to say thank you.. i was doing a snooker ball in a monkey fist and needed a nice tidy knot and not a loop knot ... And this was perfect. And thanks again.
Shawn you are the best at tutorials. Your explanations are not too fast but not so slow that I want to strangle myself with the Paracord! Long time fan, student and customer. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for explaining the last two passings that comes up through the diamond. Four previous videos "just make half a circle and up through the diamond.." nitwits. Anyway great upload! Thx!
...I love this knot...if you want a round beautiful button...pull and tighten the loop that was around your finger into the center...it will hang onto a center strand and close beautifully...then you can leave both strands OR cut one off and melt leaving the one strand...thanks...been watching you for years...
i spent 40 mins trying to learn this knot on another tutorial and couldnt get it, i turn on this vid and got it before the video was over, so easy to follow along
Hi Sean - Great video. I am a beginner paracorder and this knot has been kicking my butt. Tee Hee. Thanks for going slow. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do it by memory, but I will keep your video on deck to help me though the knot in the future. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
I've watched multiple videos on how to tie this not. And couldn't tie it. . I like the way you slow things down. I finally got it this time. Thank you.
I find that when tightening the knot, I can push on all sides of the knot in between pulling the cords tight and it usually works the slack out. Although you could pull the slack through if you want to be sure. I just think it takes a bit more time.
4:00 is where I always mess up even when I watch this video 😣 Which I still have to watch this every time I do one of these…. I’ve only done 6 so far though so hopefully I’ll memorize it eventually and not screw up the last part. The bad part about these knots is how much paracord you need to use and how much extra is left you have to cut off… I wish there was an easier way with less cord used. I’ve tried less cord but seem to always need a lot. Anyway thanks for your parcord options and the video. I only found one other brand that is as nice and as cheap.
Bahaha finally found it!!! Been a few years since iv made bracelets and somehow forgot the very last step!! Great tutorial! This is and always will be my goto vid for this knot
I realize this is very old video but this was the most simply explained easy to follow video for a beginner like me to follow , very well done thank you 🙏🙏🙏
So, I'm acquiring this new skill, in fact, I'm just starting. It sure took me a while to tie this knot, but I got it. I actually tried to learn it on four different sites, but failed. Finally, RUclips's AI led me to your page. The combination of videography and instruction worked for me. Thanks to you, my repertoire includes the monkey's fist, the snake knot, and the two strand diamond knot. This is fun, challenging, and I have a use in mind for these skills, but if I didn't this would still be a good to acquire while suffering from the "corona virus house arrest syndrome". I really did not know what the phrase, "cabin fever" meant until we were attacked by the Chinese Flu.
Thank you Bored Paracord, I just received my Blue diamond Paracord today in the mail. Also thank you for the "Thanks Donald" post it note inside. great company and service. prices are excellent, I will not buy from anyone else.
Most effective video for this imo. I played at half speed, mimicked the instructor and got a perfect result on first try. Any suggestions on doing this with short lanyard for a edc say 5"?
This video has helped me a ton, after numerous attempts before this one really helped make it click in my head and really love how it turned out, thank you very much for making this video!
Just used it on a creaking piece of thick leather thong. I'm guessing not the best way to learn it.As usual I have to thank you for your time and consideration you put in to your video.Quite educational, functional and fun. 🙏

I feel that pain 😂
My exact problem this video wins
Thank you so very much! This is the best video demonstration I have seen on diamond knotting. For the first time, after months of trying and failed attempts, I have been able to do my very first diamond knot. Thank you for your patient and wonderful demonstration.
I've tried making this knot for hours now. Just to find more proof that just because someone knows how to do something doesn't mean they know how to explain. This was brilliant. Thank you. I finally got it
I’ve watched a bunch of videos on how to tie this knot, and yours is the only one I understood. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Best instructional video on making this knot. I’ve watched several and this was by far the easiest to understand. Thank you! 🙏
I’ve been having so much trouble with this knot until I saw this video! Thank you!
I have been doing this since 2015, and I still use instructions to do this knot 😂 Thanks for making this video! 👍🏼😊

Oh my gosh.. I had SOOO much trouble with this knot until I watched this video. THANK YOU
Most comprehensive instructional video about how to tie this knot. Thank you!!

my beginner's doubts regarding this knot.

Ive never been able to tie this knot. Try after try. Books and other RUclips videos didn't help. I was able to follow right along with you and get it the first try. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks I was having lots of difficulty trying to untie that knot and the first part of this video really helped dramatically!
Wow!! Definitely the easiest diamond knot tutorial!! Thank you👍🏽
The "working end" thing saved me from a rage quit and smashing my phone to pieces. The last 3 videos the instructor's hands were in the way and it was hard to see even at 1/4 speed. Thanks.
Edit: the comment about your battery being low reminded me mine was as well. Plugged it in at 1%. Thanks
“Easy enough right?”
Me(on my 86th try): Yeah!
Great tutorial on the a quick way to make a diamond knot
Yours is by far the best explanation.
The part I always didn't see was that last bit where the string went out of view around the working bit of string from the finger.
You explained what I couldn't see when watching other people giving demo 's , so I always stuffed it up😂
But got it now👍
I had so many problems with that knot. This is the best tutorial so far. Thanks!
I totally agree, it finally made sense.
Some of these things will scramble your brains. Lol mine was the square turks head. After 30 some attempts I finally got it. Even revisiting it took 5 or 6 times to get the hang of it back.
After failing this knot from two other videos, I tied it using this method on the first pass. Thank you.
I have seen so many Vids how to tite that Knot, never worked, but with your Video I get perfect Diamond Knots! Thanks for sharing and teaching!
I've been trying to follow this knot in another video but could do it. In desperation, I came across this video, and boom!!! Did it first time. Thank you very much. I was nearly put off at first though, because I couldn't under stand while you wasted playing time undoing the previous knot.
I dont normally like or comment on videos these days. But i just wanted to say thank you.. i was doing a snooker ball in a monkey fist and needed a nice tidy knot and not a loop knot ... And this was perfect. And thanks again.
Oh my stars! Starting around the finger is brilliant. It worked! Thank you for helping me to end my frustration with this knot!
After 4 other views from other videos of this cord, yours has been the only one that help me get it and learn (memorize) it. Thank you Sir!
Shawn you are the best at tutorials. Your explanations are not too fast but not so slow that I want to strangle myself with the Paracord! Long time fan, student and customer. Thank you for your service.

I have seen so many diamond knot videos. And after watching this one I FINALLY got it! Thanks so much, this video is great!!!
I've been struggling to tie this for a while. Best video I have seen. Thank you!!!
Best instructions I have found on how to tie this knot for soft shackles.
i spent 40 mins trying to learn this knot on another tutorial and couldnt get it, i turn on this vid and got it before the video was over, so easy to follow along
Took me like 8 tries cause I had pretty short working ends since I'm finishing off a snake lanyard. Using a sharpie instead of my finger helped a lot.
Good to see someone still in the paracord business. I know it used to be really popular but has really died down now. Nice channel!
I know right
Thanks for providing the neatest explanation of this knot.
Thanks....Watched another channel on this knot but man is your way much easier to follow and understand.
Thank you friend. I also was having trouble with this knot. I am starting to recognize where I go wrong now, thanks to your tutorial.
From a mess...... to a neat lock knot!
Nice one!
That’s the best tutorial for this knot I’ve seen. Thanks!
I can't stop watching these tutorials. I'm now an addict to paracord. Great directions on everything you do btw. Keep it up!
Hi Sean - Great video. I am a beginner paracorder and this knot has been kicking my butt. Tee Hee. Thanks for going slow. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do it by memory, but I will keep your video on deck to help me though the knot in the future. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
BY FAR THE BEST INSTUCTIONAL VIDEO
I've watched multiple videos on how to tie this not. And couldn't tie it. . I like the way you slow things down. I finally got it this time. Thank you.
Thanks Shaun this is the easy way to tie a button, or diamond knot. Some videos go the long way around the barn.
What a great explanation! I finally tied my own after watching this video
A key knot. Very clear tutorial! We have to practice now 😀. Thank you so much!
I find that when tightening the knot, I can push on all sides of the knot in between pulling the cords tight and it usually works the slack out. Although you could pull the slack through if you want to be sure. I just think it takes a bit more time.
Seen many Diamond Knot tutorials but yours is the best!
Scott Sandison I agree very much.
Worked the slack out of the middle loop and I have a nice little globe knot.
4:00 is where I always mess up even when I watch this video 😣 Which I still have to watch this every time I do one of these…. I’ve only done 6 so far though so hopefully I’ll memorize it eventually and not screw up the last part.

Anyway thanks for your parcord options and the video. I only found one other brand that is as nice and as cheap.
Took a while but with your video I was able to get a pretty good looking knot. Yours are the most intsructive and helpful of all..... Thanks...
Thank you!!!
This is the first Video that helped me!
Thanks and greetings from germany!
Bahaha finally found it!!! Been a few years since iv made bracelets and somehow forgot the very last step!! Great tutorial! This is and always will be my goto vid for this knot
I want to like this video twice
You sir have a gift for teaching!!
Best tutorial so far
I realize this is very old video but this was the most simply explained easy to follow video for a beginner like me to follow , very well done thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Woohoo!! Got it on my first try!!! Great tutorial!!!!!!
Thanks for the explanation! the last part of the weaving was the hardest
I have a book that covers this knot, and doesn't cover it at the same time. Very good tutorial, thanks!
That seemed easy to follow...
I'll be back when I need that knot! Thx bro!

Best video om the Diamond Knot. Thank You!

Best explanation on RUclips for this knot. Thanks!
Thanks for this helpful video; got it first time with your clear instructions.
Sucess, 1st time! Woohoo!
Not my 1st video or attempt. Great instructions & not hiding crucial steps.
Awesome worked like a charm
The simplicity and beauty. Thank you very much...
Great tutorial, thanks for posting this video. It has help slot. Your video is the easiest to follow and your instructions are on point.
just made my first diamond knot. u have made look so easy & understood everything u were doing thank you
Different color cords would be nice. Sometimes because of camera angle, it's hard to tell which end was used to go where.
Very nice demonstration - thank-you.
this was a great reminder on how to do this know, thanks a lot!
Quality tutorial. Thanks Pal. 👍
Just joined group and subscribed! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial👍
This video has helped me a ton, after numerous attempts before this one really helped make it click in my head and really love how it turned out, thank you very much for making this video!
Best tutorial for this thank you for explaining every move 👌🏽🪢🗡
Just used it on a creaking piece of thick leather thong. I'm guessing not the best way to learn it.As usual I have to thank you for your time and consideration you put in to your video.Quite educational, functional and fun. 🙏
FINALLY ONE OF THESE FROM YOU!!!!!! Also, glad your back. newish to watching you but absolutely love all your designs.
this shit is fake

I got this first time. Good tutorial, keep up the good work
Got the knot perfect on the first try. 15 minutes later, I can do it from memory. Thank you!
Thank you love this knot.. Awesome job
Wow, got it on the first try! Outstanding video, thanks!
can you pull that loop out to make it an end knot?
Love this tutorial best one out there
Thank you took me a couple of times but i finally got it.
Excellent tutorial.. it all makes sense now ! Keep up the cool informative paracord videos. Subscribed because of this tutorial : )
Thank you for tutorial 🙌
Question: Cord size being equal, will a single strand diamond knot and a 2 strand diamond knot result in basically the same size knot?
Very nicely done. Thank you
I just realized im using you're paracord to do this knot
This is a footrope knot which is a diamond knot inside out .if you roll the crown down over the wall you end up with a diamond knot.
Thanks a lot ! Your instruction and style is easy to follow. Well done on all your videos
Love this knot as well as this channel! Nice!
