I've been making paracord items for a few weeks now and have learned quite a few knots/weaves, so you can imagine how many videos I have gone through to learn many of the techniques available to us on RUclips. This braid however has been a struggle for me to master. Thanks to you sharing this tutorial I have watched a few times now, I can finally produce a consistent 4 strand round braid. Thank you very much!
I enjoy knowing it is safe to browse through your comments with my kids. The videos I have seen show the steps clearly and even though the background of your 'secretary' etc. has detracted from the professionalism of the piece it has never interfered with the delivery of content and information. Thank you for your vids, SUBSCRIBED.
5 years on and your video is still the best instructional, easy to follow youtube I've found, you came up 1st in my search, now I'm making braids of my own. Big thank you and best wishes to your family.
Really appreciate your video! This is my first time watching you and I really appreciate your comments on blocking people, there’s no reason for people leaving negative comments. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials! Keep up the good work! This video solved a problem I was having for a camera lanyard. Thanks!
First of your videos I have watched, just beginning my journey into tying paracord, enjoyed this quite a bit. On your comment about blocked rude people - one of the issues we have in society today is people believing they have to tolerate rude and crude behavior. We don't. I applaud your actions.
I wanted to thank the Paracordist for these great videos. I've been a knot-head all my life but this is stepping it up a notch! I'm learning a lot and having fun. After seeing this video I tried different variations of the same idea, splicing the four strand round braid back into itself...either for a loop, or as asked, for a complete circle (necklace). I am finding that when I do it right, it turns into doubled four strand round braid (four pairs of two) I end up having a loop of four strand round braid with a lead of doubled four strand round braid...that eventually peters out to only four strands again....I can run them all through a ring and weave them back in again, making it doubled four strand all the way back to where it all started....hope that makes sense.
Your family and friends are worth your protection. Thanks for booting the punks. As for the noise factor.... Keep doing the videos with your family in the background so we can enjoy watching them grow up. They are a national treasure.
Hi, I'm sorry you have to deal with rude, inconsiderate people. I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I appreciate you putting the time and effort into making these tutorials. You were the catalyst to getting my 17 year old son to start spending time with me and we are having a blast learning from you and playing with paracord together. Thanks so much!
Kevin, I hasve watched several of your videos, and find them very instructioinal and helpful. I need the exercise to keep my small muscles and nerves trained, because of a neuromuscular disease I have, and tying your decorative knots, pyrography and several other art forms are mainstays for me! You are doing a great job of getting the informatiuon and techniques out there, and I don't care if it is accomopanied by your secretary's typing or your kids in the background!.
Thank you for your time in making your videos. I am just beginning to do paracord projects in hopes of selling items as I am disabled and unable to work in a labor intensive career. Thanks again.
Good vid Kevin. thankyou for mentioning me. One thing I might suggest on your needle nose pliers is to file off the ridges so it is smooth. Less chance to catch on the paracord and snag it. I use mine all the time since like you showed you want the braiding to be consistent and using the pliers to snug things up works great.
I have been crafting braided items (lanyards, keyfobs, whips, etc) since the late 1960's. Back then, I was working (mostly) with flat stock... leather strips, vinyl, etc. At one point, I believed it was a "lost art". Glad to see the art is coming back... Vas
Hi There, Just want you send you my Mahalo for sharing your time and expertise! Because of you and others like you, I am enjoying a new hobby with my kids and creating personal and unique items for friends and family. I appreciate you giving of your time and talent so freely!!
I really like what you have done here. I'm glad that you took it slow and you walked people through like beginners. I'm also grateful for the notes that send them to other places to learn the knots. That's pretty awesome
That is a great help, I have done a couple lanyards where I put the keyring on the loop where I start the 4strain round braid but then I have a hard time finding a way to connect the other end to make the neck loop..
I wanted to see how you ended a 4 strand round braid and work it back on itself. I liked what you did by using a wall knot, however that is something I have to learn better. What would be the next knot to use to bring a project to it's finish? I appreciate what you said about keeping your videos, etc. clean cut and no bullying. Very nicely said, and I highly respect that. Thank you for your video. Dana
Wow! thanks for teaching me the 4 strand braid! This is my 1st dog leash & I messed up because I put a clip at the end so I guess I need to start over- unless there's a way to make the loop with the loose ends. . .
Hey man wuz up!!! Just wanted to congratulate you for share and show your paracord stuff, you make it very clean and neat. I'm learning from you, the bad thing there's no paracord where I live, so I'm using a very cheap cord, it's not even a cord; its shoe laces. But anyways thanx a lot Kevin. P. S. sorry about my English.
Thank you for the video. I have spent a few days trying to work it out as I want to do a seamless 4 strand (7mm flat) round dog leash with a paracord core and I literally was about to chuck the project in the bin. I should have looked it up before.
Kevin, again your video was an excellent presentation, of the four strand round braid with a loop back into itself will work on my projects to, and I too missed your children in the background playing. Thank you again for your video. Regards, Sunny De Coster
I am make piggin strings for some cowboys and I use the 4 strand braid. This is going to come in handy when I can't use a ring and need to make my own loop. Thank you for posting this.
Wow! Thanks for showing and sharing this tutorial! I'm a newly beginner, so I'm not very used to binding yet, but I hope I'll learn and with the help of your videos I'm sure I will! This loop is very beautiful and I'm sure I will have good use of it! Best regards! / Sofia in Sweden!
New viewer here and i have to say what a great tutorial video. Paracord braiding is an awsome Art Form not to mention absolutely handy craft to know. Well done you have a new subscriber as well. Oh and i give you my word as a Retired Marine no bad language and or insulting comments.
As always I enjoy your videos. In this one you made a reference to your blog on determining the length of cord needed. I have not been able to find that. Would you please post a link to that or publish that in some way? Many thanks and I always enjoy the kids visiting the tutorials.
Hi, I’m new to this and heard you mention a video about getting the right length of cord for a job. Could you please point me into the right direction? I like how you explain stuff! Cheers
Absolutely brilliant - Thanks Kevin. I will be trying this for a new Leash. It appears so seamless. I hope I can get mine as neat. No reason not to is there? if I follow all your tips. Cheers.
Took me awhile, but I finally got it. The beginning, at the most critical part starting out, and the camera was pointed down a little low and I had a hard time getting a good look at how the cords started out... Other than that, it helped a lot. Thanks!!
Hey Kevin... I've been subbed to your channel for a few years...I was reviewing this vid again to keep it fresh and funny thing...I still never notice typing in the background until you mention it...I rather enjoy having your kids and the other interruptions in the background... Kinda has that reality of a family man appeal...
I know if I were to make a video, I surely would not allow my wife or any kids interrupt the sound integrity to further enhance the quality of this video series, But I too enjoy your videos!
Fantastic videos you have! I have 3 books on paracord knotting but watching the videos done so well makes learning to do those knots so much better! Thanks. :)
Kevin, thank you for a very practical & informative video. I commend you for your stand on common courtesy and look forward to your future productions. Best wishes always.
There's another tutorial on how to do a four strand braid that I suppose is a little easier to do than this method (not much easier), BUT, this one is a lot tighter and cleaner in my opinion. Thank you for your tutorial.
I recently discovered you channel and I want to thank you for sharing your great ideas. I love your work and I am fascinated by knots. I am wondering if you have a video on your skogkniv lanyard. I just learned the turks head knot but I am unsure as to how you combined the the 4 strand round braid with the turks head knot. Thank you for sharing. Let me know if there is a link. Thanks
I ordered 4 fid from you. I hate the burning method it is ugly and some times does not hold. Cant wait to get the fids in and be able to tuck the ends in all nice and secure. Thanks for your videos, going to get adventurous and try some of the other knots you have posted. I think the fids are going to make all the difference in the world to making these now. THANKS SO MUCH
Great, easily understood videos! I am actually going to use leather but the techniques are the same. My project is a dog show lead with beads interspersed along the lead. I may use paracord for a core. Is there a way to create a lead with a loop on both ends? One end being the handle loop and the other end a small loop to attach a show collar?
thanks kevin for your aweslme videos. love the kids btw. i came up with a fancy way of dealing with 8 strands for making a dog leash if i can figure out how to send you photos on this thing i will. basiclly you make a length of braid in the middle of your cord as long as you want the loop to be. join them with lanyard knot doubled with the foir you have left (2 on each side,) you cobra stitch back over the loop meeting in the middle and then hiding ends in cobra braid.
8:45 : would seem to hold more of the strength of the braid if you engaged 2 strands instead of one, and slightly above the extremity of the braid : but maybe the end result wouldn't look as symetrical? Awesome art and great teaching skills as always Kevin, we can't thank you enough for these vids!
Hello. Thank you for the video, I am learning a lot. I was wondering if you have the same method for an 8-strand braid. I am totally new to this and need to learn how to make a secure eye at both ends. I guess this is two different questions, but please let me know if you have any guidance on this. Thanks.
Why on earth would someone choose to be a jerk to you when you offer your own free time to make awesome educational videos? Oh wait... this is the internet. Myself I really appreciate what you do. Also your daughter is awesome. She makes a great assistant/camera operator. Thanks for the videos Kevin.
That was very well done! Not quite what I was looking for, but close, and I will use this transition in some future projects I have lined up! Thank you very much for sharing!
Thanks for the video ... but I have a question ... How do you determine how much paracord to use for a certain length lanyard ??? Again Thanks for the info and vid. ! Great help for me.
Thanx!! I just bought some paracord and plan to try to make my own dog show lead. I just need to figure out how to incorporate the chain into the design so it's a Martingale lead. I think this video might have just given me the way to accomplish that :-)
You have a very nice manner on your videos. I have a question, I’m looking to make a short braided rope with I loop on each end. Please correct me if I’m wrong but it seems that all the strength of this loop is where one cord goes around one loop in the end of the rope. So essentially the loop is only as strong as one paracord? All I missing something?
Greetings, I really liked the look of this braid. I am planning on making a 6 foot long dog leash. Can you offer two bits of advice. How long of a cords do you think I would need to be able to braid 6 ft, and how would tie the end off to accommodate a clasp at the end.
Cool idea! You would need alot of cord, most knots are 1ft of paracord = 1 in of knot...as for the next question there are many ways of doing so and there a a couple examples on youtube just search paracord keychain clip, its basically the same concept
Have you ever made barrel reins for horses it has a flat braid in it with two to four knots an usually have a round braid in the middle I'm wondering how the burn the ends of them in a triangle shape to finish them so they can be adjusted
Really good video! Unfortunately the link to where I can see how much cord I need for a project (neck rein for my horse in my case) doesn't work. Could you please tell me where I can find it? Thanks!
How would you go about using the 4 strand loop as your closure (if your 4 strand originated at a monkey fist)? Would you come around and close back into the 4 strand with a lanyard knot?
Dude you rock, have just gotten into paracord braiding. looking to make some duck call lanyards. Thanks for your videos and education that you offer. God bless
I'm trying to tie a 4 strand round braid rope for my work bucket using these loops at each end. The first one would be easy of course but how would I make the other end once the rope is passed through the opposite hole in my bucket?
What about working 2 of the working ends through the starting bites somehow? Just wonder if it wouldn't make it even cleaner and smoother. I could be wrong.
Hey bud, anyway you can shoot a vid with this necklace joined to a neck knife like the Becker necker BK14 or Esee Izula? This would make a sweet neck knife necklace. REALLY would appreciate it. I'm a brand new guy on the block with this.
Hey Paracordist! If I wanted a loop on the other end as well how would I splice that with the four strands I have at the end of my braid? It’s easier making one at the start but how would I secure it on the other end?
The article on determining the length of paracord required for different projects is missing. Could you repost it? I want to make a 4 strand round braid hat brim but do not know how much paracord to use
I want to Thank You for the remark "Finnish tying one knot before going on to the next" It was nice to finally hear what I think sometimes. Videos are great!!! '
hey Kevin,i love all your videos.i am desperately trying to figure out how to end an 8 strand round braid.can I use the wall knot? the braid is uneven at the end just cant figure it out. not a lot of info out there on it. lots of 4 strand info. any help would be great.
Very good thank you sir didn't know what I was doing but questions I have big dogs pit bull and she tends to bit how well do you think it will hold up agents her
I love watching you work. Totally agree with the typing in the background & the comment friendly atmosphere! Question, unless I missed it, how far down do you fold, or make the loops to start your braid for the handle. This is my first leash so I'm a little befuddled. :)
As you are only feeding one strand through one bite on the end to form the loop does this mean is technically a weaker join than if you spilled more ends in?
Is this loop only tied in with a single strand, Would that not reduce the strength on the entire braid if the loop is going to carry any load? How would I ensure all strands are tied in with the loop for maximum strength?

Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate you being family friendly, that's great.
At last! A answer to a question which has plagued me for a loooong time.Thanks.
Hey Paracordist! If I wanted a loop on the other end as well how would I splice that with the four strands I have at the end of my braid? It’s easier making one at the start but how would I secure it on the other end?
The article on determining the length of paracord required for different projects is missing. Could you repost it? I want to make a 4 strand round braid hat brim but do not know how much paracord to use
It's here I checked! blog.paracordist.com/2013/03/how-do-you-estimate-amount-of-550-cord.html?m=1
I want to Thank You for the remark "Finnish tying one knot before going on to the next" It was nice to finally hear what I think sometimes. Videos are great!!!
'
I finished with a Mathew Walker after the initial loop. Nice vid.
hey Kevin,i love all your videos.i am desperately trying to figure out how to end an 8 strand round braid.can I use the wall knot? the braid is uneven at the end just cant figure it out. not a lot of info out there on it. lots of 4 strand info. any help would be great.
***** thanks for the reply Kevin.going to give it a go.
Very easy to follow and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love the black and gray parecord and I would perfere to hear your secketer type
I've been looking forever for a video like this thank you so much
Would this work for a 6 strand satin braid? I’m trying to make a leash with a braided loop and a metal o ring to make an all in one slip lead...
Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge and talents, you make it very simple to follow along. Be well, be Blessed.
Can you do a video on how to make the bsb weave?!
Very good thank you sir didn't know what I was doing but questions I have big dogs pit bull and she tends to bit how well do you think it will hold up agents her
Simon Salas paracord can be just as easily chewed through as any other leash material unfortunately
I'm trying to do a cobra lanyard and haven found I good way to do it.. what would you recommend
Ciao e grazie per il tuo insegnami ❤ volevo chiederti come faccio a finire il guinzaglio con il moschettone finale?
Thank you for the instruction. You answered a couple of questions I have been wrestling with.
I love watching you work. Totally agree with the typing in the background & the comment friendly atmosphere!
Question, unless I missed it, how far down do you fold, or make the loops to start your braid for the handle. This is my first leash so I'm a little befuddled. :)
That is a really cool braid i like the finished product!!!
As you are only feeding one strand through one bite on the end to form the loop does this mean is technically a weaker join than if you spilled more ends in?
Very nice and I like your block policy. People tend to be very abusive and believe it is all acceptable.
Is this loop only tied in with a single strand, Would that not reduce the strength on the entire braid if the loop is going to carry any load?
How would I ensure all strands are tied in with the loop for maximum strength?
Thank you for your time to make this great video.
