white paracord herringbone weave turks head knot bracelet 1006
This wide cuff design is made with white nylon parachute cord. This material is slightly larger than 1/8" diameter with a fine woven cover over a soft core which make the cord naturally soft to the touch. Unlike hard braided cord this material can take a "set" once it has been knotted. The work up process must be done in a single session so as not to distort the cord resulting in an uneven tension and subsequent uneven shape of the knot.
Here's a large black paracord anklet/bracelet design you might also find interesting
This side view shows the 17 part weave design clearly. The soft cord has formed a flat surface on the knot instead of creating ribs where the overlaps occur.
This is a "medium" size measuring 8" (203 mm)
