This is similar to diamond knot, only this knot doesn't go behind the 2 stands then to come up through the middle if im right?

i wish it looked like that anyway i guess this is also the diamond knot?
seems like it thought I'd all since I'm not sure

[@WhyKnot]

Very similar but not quite the same as a diamond knot.

[@josephoconnor9675]

Can this be doubled?

[@bluehawke99]

Very late to this comment, but if you hold two strands in your fingers instead of the one, you get a doubled knot. Just be careful when dressing the knot you keep the strands neat and it looks pretty decent. A good time to check the strands are nicely placed is at 1.24 in the video where the carricks bend is formed.
