A while back I found several feet of 1/4" rope while beachcombing. It is pretty nasty stuff, very hairy and with a loose lay. I remembered a couple of projects in Des Pawson's "Knotcraft" book.
wrist lanyard I unlaid the rope at each end and made one tuck of an eye splice. I then did a 3 strand diamond knot to complete each loop and cut the ends close to the knot.
mini boat fender key fob I liked the idea but tied the bumber in A different manner than in "Knotcraft". I folded the rope in half, separated the strands and did wall knotting back to the loop. Finished with diamond knot. I will add split ring and give to boat owning nephew.
