Crown knot paracord dog leash

[@RoboBeaver6]

This was Hypnotic. I haven't even got a Dog, but I watched the whole thing. Makes me want to get one, just so I can make it a Leash.

[@matthewmilburn938]

Excelent instruction! I just lost my one in the bush! Must be 3 to 4 years since I made it, still like new. Loved it, so I'm back for a refresher before making another using the same Atwood 550 cord. Bomb proof, but more importantly super comfortable. Thanks.

[@Camoman-lo5gw]

I loved making this leash and get lots of complements on how unique they are. The only thing I had trouble with was the hearingbone knot to end where the splice started.

[@ericbrack4546]

Excellent! Found this after trying the Kumihimo leash splice and cover. For whatever reason, it all clicked in my brain. I did a different weave method to bring the ends further down and tied the cover towards the loop. Turns out like yours when finished.

[@jojoflembo]

I've made this leash 3 times now (for 3 different dogs), I absolutely love it. So comfortable, secure and I love that it's a little stretchy. Thank you!

[@wxmyjnsn]

I don't see how this is possible with 80 feet of cord x 2. I want to make a 6 foot leash. According to the instructions he used 39.5 feet for a 3.5 foot leash. So I doubled it but make all those knots with 80 feet of cord is VERY difficult! How did you do with 40 feet and not get all tangled up? I would buy one from you.

[@kevincramer1759]

I’m sayin the same thing. I want to do a 16 footer but eeefffffff that

[@mo9620]

@@wxmyjnsn It's easy , stead of working and fighting with meters of cord , you can make 4 bundles to work with.

I could not possibly do this but it is fun watching you do it.

[@madseason94]

It looks simple done by you... it took me at least two hours to make the initial knot because I wasn't tighting good! Now I'm going good... we will see at the end ahahah

[@ArnfinnRian]

After months of trying I finally got the herringbone just right. That sucker is HARD!

Glad to hear it! Indeed it is not easy. Mark

[@alvindueck8227]

Nice to see that some people still keep trying until they get right instead of giving up and cry about how hard it is. good on ya, mate

[@ykolin82]

very simple knot. in the video it shown knots that goes counter clock wise. i always liked doing it 3 levels counter clock, and then switch to clock wise. if you want to have a triangle shape, use 3 cords.

[@user-jz7pd3ol8d]

Thank you for the clear explanation. After trying these knots separately during a few months, I managed to make this dog leash in combination with a conquistador slip collar. It wasn't perfect yet, but I'm working on it. Since I like the Mathew Walker knot, next time I'm going to try to start the dog leash with an 8 strand MW knot so that the knot is thicker and the 4 strands for the small herringbone part at the bottom are already attached.

[@dumpingonscrubs494]

For the Matthew walker knot at the beginning order the strands: Left front Left rear Right rear Right front To avoid strands being crossed going into the knot.

[@equarg]

WOW! LOVING IT! I just wish you showed HOW to tighten the herring bone/turks head in mire detail....

[@PaganWizard]

At the 16:40 mark, I think I might insert the cord into the leash, then run it down through the snap hook, back up into the leash and out the other end. This would make it look as if it were simply passing through the leash, while doubling and reinforcing the connection to the snap hook. This would be especially good for larger or stronger dogs.

[@vassiliskarageorgos4393]

Awesome ! Making paracord leashes myself, this should have taking you hours to do and given you cramps in your fingers ! Still though , one of the most beautiful I’ve seen !

[@PineTopTeesVideos]

Very nice video, could you demonstrate how to tighten the Harrington knot?

[@colaroyaI]

Great video. I was inspired to make this project. This will be my first project other than a key fob. I would have loved to see how to manage all the cord for the project. I realize I'm fighting above my weight class by taking on the project but it would have helped

[@isabellanakahara]

How do you estimate the amount of cord you need to complete this leash? it seems, to my beginner's mind, that crown knots take up, or require quite a lot of cord. One fellow made a leash using a 4 strand crown knot, and said 50 feet of each color was needed for a 6 foot leash. I did not have enough cord for a 4 foot leash, let along a 6 foot leash. This is something that is challenging (for me). My second challenge is managing very long lengths of cord as I am making a given project. Thank you, Mark. My husband and I are retired and are really loving learning how to knot and braid paracord. We love your videos.

[@christiane.4655]

Is it possible to realize this crown knot weaving with more than two basic threads? My dog ​​weighs about 60 kilograms, under load the two basic threads on the carabiner should not last long so I would work from three to four basic cords.

[@siceros]

Quick question about the Herringbone knot. If I spliced mine a little further down the leash and I need three loops to cover the area with the Herringbone knot, do i do the under-over three times instead of two?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey there Matthew! Excellent question. Indeed, you wrap around three times instead of two times. This will result in a longer knot. Naturally all further steps are a bit longer as well, but following the same pattern. Congratulations in getting this far, you have learned not one knot, but also how to make it longer and shorter! Mark

[@siceros]

@@Paracordguild Thanks for the info Mark. Your tutorial was really helpful on every aspect of the leash. I never knew how hard it would be trying to make crown knots with two 50 ft length cords but i got through it. Wish me luck on the Herringbone knot, thanks again.

[@markogorc2526]

@@siceros I do wish you luck! The crown knots can be hard on the hands. Somehow I was able to do the leash quickly, but sometimes doing it in several sittings can be more enjoyable. As far as the length of the cords/ends goes, you could use shorter strands and splice in more length when needled. For some reason folks avoid doing this like the plague, but it works! Here is what I mean (old video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3qYd2qumN2oZrc Mark

[@lynnwebb8293]

I want to follow this so bad but after you weave all 4 cords and are starting to do the herringbone (11:22 ) you say we have always exited with a over one when clearly the cords coming out are not all over... very confused here

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you Lynn for the comment. It may indeed seem so, mostly because the cords that are coming out at the very start can not be perfectly lined up. As long as you followed the rule of 4 unders and 4 overs, you will always end with an over. If you still have any issues, try tying this smaller multi strand herringbone knot. It may give you the insight you need to tie the bigger version! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGi3l2uIg5ion68 I have tied the same knot in this video as well, maybe that can also be of help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGHPq2ePr7iBd9k Please, be sure to let me know if you still have any issue tying this knot.

[@ericbauer4897]

Great tutorial, but how the heck did you work with 39' cords without a tangled mess every few minutes?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! The two cords are halved at the very start so you are using about 20 foot long ends. At the start it takes a bit of patience, but the crown knots don't really tangle your cords all that much. Also, the good thing is that with every knot, your ends get shorter and easier to work with!

@@Paracordguild thanks for the reply. It's not that I don't like working with long cords, I just never have. I just got a puppy and he tore up his leashes already (he's a devil:) and I really like this leash you made here. What I did is wrapped them around my hands to make a ball (of sorts) and am letting more out as I go; the knots weren't tangling, the extra cord was. If no luck I'll check out the link you gave.

So confusing, but at the end how do you secure your knots? I will get this, or I will go insane trying. (header: man goes on rampage leaving half tied dog lease at home).

Hi, what’s the diameter of the paracord are you using? is this 2mm or 4mm? I’m excited to make one.

It is regular 550 paracord. The diameter is about 3mm.

[@jjyanson]

Paracord guild Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@brynleylewis7390]

Lovely weaving and beautiful finish, however! The trigger hook is still only held by 2 thin strands of chord, what is the actual breaking strain of the chord please? seems alot of weaving for such a weak anchorage, unless it does have a good pulling power breaking strain!? Beautiful work though 👍

[@Paracordguild]

Hi there! Paracord is usually stronger than the snap hook. Even two strands can be incredibly hard to break. Naturally the momentum of the pull exerts more strain on the cord than a static load, but still, for most dogs it should be fine. Mark

I wish your video had been you threading all 39 feet through itself and keeping the lines even to make that Matthew a Walker knot. I'm ready to break something trying to tie this damn knot.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey there! The Matthew Walker knot is not a must. You can skip it and go directly into a crown knot. It is just a nice transitional knot. As far as the knot goes, it takes time to learn. The key is in adjusting and tightening. Practice with shorter cords :). I have a few tutorials on Matthew Walkers on the channel, be sure to check the tightening on those! Mark

[@ruthgatward1942]

I practiced with short cords until I was happy I had it under control working with 39 feet was tricky but I rolled the ends up tied them and used my lap and the drop from knees to help control them. Must say I was close to pulling my hair out too. But the practice on short cords really helped me get the feel if the cords. The last bit I was overthinking and your hands on the video don’t show but basically when you push the left loop up you just wiggle them all to get a square, I kept tightening to much .

[@JLH1956]

I want to make this as a gift. How do you end the last knot on the herring bone? Do you just tighten it down and snip and melt? I will be referring to this for a while, as I am trying it now, so any help just reply. Thanks to all.

What would be the best way to add a monkey fist? (1inch ball-bearing) in the loop of the handle? I would like for the fist to look as if it had been swallow by the crown knots and not just hanging. could you help me out? love your videos best tutorials ever

[@dontshowmynameplease]

I think the leash is stronger than the metal hook. Will you do the tensile strength testing for the leash?

[@Paracordguild]

You are quite right. The cord is very strong, plus quite resistant to water and regular wear and tear. If the hook fails after a while, you can easily replace it with a carabiner.

[@ATADIEWURATRENDZ]

you are the best

[@dannystreat9863]

Great tutorials. Concise! Baddass!

[@byt2984]

So what length do I need to make a five foot length leash? Does this include the handle?

[@BlackenedBrew]

Dennis Lackey OK, if I did the math right... Each foot in length for the final leash requires (2) 136 inch long (or 11.3 foot long) strands. So if this is correct, for a 5 foot long finished leash you would need (2) 56.6 foot long cords. I make no promises that this is correct.

[@jagersilva2169]

Chuck Hackett this helped thanks

[@Alayazize1993]

How did you come up with 136inches???

[@BlackenedBrew]

In the original video, the materials list that you need 39'-6" for a 3'-6" long leash. 39'-6" equals 474 inches long. Take that 474 inches, divided by 3 1/2 feet comes out to about 136 inches (a little less, I rounded up) needed per foot of leash. FYI, I used this formula to make a 5 1/2 foot long leash... came out to 748 inches (62'-4") (136 * 5.5= 748 inches)... the final length was about the 5 1/2 feet that I wanted (closer to 5'-10"). My dog pulls when we walk, so the leash has stretched out longer and is about 6'-6" now. I'm ok with it stretching out, I usually wrap the leash around my shoulders so my hands are free, so no biggie if it's a little longer. I also took one of those black alligator clips that you use to secure papers together (overgrown paper clip with handles), fed it through the leash and now I can't just clip poop bags on that so I don't have to carry those either.

Congratulations on getting through the knot tying! Not many can do this! I am well familiar with what you are experiencing with the herringbone knots. The way I get them to look good/round is to tie them very loose, then gradually tighten up. Make sure that the "V" shapes (crossings) are lined up and it should work out.
