How to tie the Snake Knot (easy method)

In this tutorial I show you how to tie a snake knot. This is an easier method when compared to the reinforced snake knot. This knot has many uses and can be used in bracelets, lanyards, dog leashes, and even zipper pulls!
You can get extra creative and incorporate this knot into macrame projects as well. This one is very common in paracord projects, so it is a great knot to learn.

Well I can tell you one thing, you are the only one I’ve came across on here that explained it in such a way that was so much more understandable! Thank you for that so much! A lot of these people on here don’t want to speak to tell what they’re doing so it makes it so much more harder to follow what they are doing! Thanks for sharing your tutorial! 👍😉

[@MrGobears5263]

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks a lot.

[@jyotibhoji4698]

Aum

[@Rou-gc4nu]

[@mrpigx]

I love You. Best tutorial ever.😍😍

[@martinbutcher4305]

Thanks for the video lov3d it

[@kalejay16]

Thank you!! I’ve been scouring the internet all day trying to figure out this know. You made it look so easy.

[@DG-hw5zy]

found one of these on a trail and wanted to replicate it. this video was the best out of several explanations. thanks!!

[@RegularUnleaded]

This is the best damn snake knot video on the internet. Fingers are not in the way, your not doing to much talking, and your almost straight to the point from the beginning.

[@katharineschroeder7421]

I wish I could reach through the Internet and hug you! With your instructions it took me three or four minutes to create a handle for my dog's leash. Thank you so very much!

[@bobmartin8684]

Thank you. I watched a couple of other videos on this knot, and the guys made it seem harder than did. Much appreciated.

[@blacksnow129]

Thank you for this tutorial easy to understand and follow. I have just made a pair of tiebacks with a 8mm boat cord and they look fantastic. 👌

[@stoneblue1795]

Thank you so much! ~ I watched a dozen other videos and could not get a consistent group of knots till I found your presentation. My knife is quite happy now. About 26 inches of paracord produces a 9 knot lanyard- fob with tails long enough to tighten it with that can be cut off later.

[@martinshubin6828]

Amazing...just what I needed...simple, slow easy to understand instructions. Thank you so much.

[@DickGallo-dk7wi]

Your teaching technique is very clear, thank you for that

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you for the great instruction. Watched the video and that evening I made 5 leather bracelets using the snake knot to secure the button and the closure. Beautiful 🤓 Big hugs from Nova Scotia 🐿️

[@rachelrowerowe8863]

Yep brilliantly explained so we can see what you're doing thank you!! 😊

[@sillys55]

Thank you for the very clear and easy-to-follow explanation 😉gr Sil

This is a wonderful tutorial... Big help! Thank you so very much🙏☺️

[@MrToni99]

Wonderful ! Thank you !

[@tz8565]

You are a wonderful teacher. Kind, patient, and warm hearted. It took me long time to figure out this snake knot. You are only one who helped me. Hugs.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Absolutely perfect teaching. I’ve tried several videos to no avail until now. Thanks. Especially thanks for holding the music off in the beginning. Music is so distracting to me. Well I’ve got it now. 👍

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Thank you

[@hilarywren6858]

Thank you , thank you , thank you!!! Yours is the only video that goes slowly enough and explains clearly enough as you go along, how to so this- to a complete novice! So helpful.

[@yonafeder-wu2zh]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I have watched tons of snake knot tutorials never successful, always frustrated until now.

[@SilverMoon1313]

Thanks. This was super easy and super useful. I only had to do two knots to get the hang of it. Great video👍

[@TheRealGrandadNo1]

Superb video, concise, simple and beautifully explained, thank you so much for taking the time to post!

[@HerreraCam]

Thanks a million!

[@denisefergusson4219]

Easy tutorial! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻First one I have found that simplifies the knot and makes it easy to see. Thank you!

[@dawonroy1805]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. This is awesome!

[@AbsoRuud76]

Every other ttutorial I've seen involves flipping the braid 180 degrees and undoing a previous knot. This is brilliant and I will definitely be using this method from now on.

[@drumchoppa1723]

Best tutorial I've ever watched on knots thank you 👍☺️❤️🙏

[@ruthn01]

Thank you! I couldn't find a video that would show how to do the knot slowly and how it should look every step of the way!

[@tjecky818]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate you going as slow as you do! Makes it so much easier for me to learn!

[@DrMori0425]

This is the clearest video I have used! Thank you!

[@DickGallo-dk7wi]

Thank you for the instruction!

[@TakshingZA]

Thank you very much! Best & simple snake knot instruction.

[@JerrySegraves]

Groovy! Brings back old macramé memories from the 70's

[@gravitywell6350]

Yours is by far the clearest explation on youtube!

[@USMC-es4yy]

I've learned alot of knot work working with Paracord but the snake is still my favorite!! Looks cool as hell and is easy and fast!

[@noemicavalli549]

I like it! Thanks Gray Wonders.

[@hkhamish]

I'm new to paracord and I just watched another snake tutorial that was much more complicated. This method is so easy and your video was so easy to follow. Thanks very much.

[@thevoiceofprophecytoday]

Really helpful. God bless You More!

[@ScientistPrepper]

Great job teaching the snake knot! Thanks. Seen other techniques that are not as simple as this.

[@emilypritchard7940]

The best presentation video I have found. I like of how thick of the cord you are using so I can actually see how to do it and taking your time on it. Now I got it. Thanks ! :)

[@chrisk1609]

I watched 4 tutorials before this one, I failed at every one of them. With yours? Nailed it on the first try. Thanks so much!

[@acidspittingemu5871]

Been working with paracord for a few weeks, learning the different knots and such. One thing I was still having trouble with was continuing my snake knots past the first knot, and most of the tutorials I watched were less than useless. Your video really helped though. Thank you very much.

[@35Geneva]

Best video I’ve seen for this knot, and I have watched many!

[@dianarabbits7183]

Yes! I agree with everyone, you took your time explaining and showing us how to tie snake knot, I was actually able to follow along with you, first time, otherwise i have to screen shot every step to learn a knot.

[@oldrabidus2230]

Thanks!

[@PEREZCHOOCH]

Great video! I made myself a custom lanyard for work. 👍

[@jimtompkins5742]

Thank you for this video! I'm just starting to get into this hobby and your video is so much easier to follow and understand! Thanks again!

[@-iceraptor-]

[@stanoglegit]

Finally after a month of searching I found you and was finally able to retie my speaker lanyard I’m so happy 😁 thank you so much

[@glendagray7210]

Well done! Thank you for sharing.

[@damascusdoshu3104]

I have the absolute hardest time following video directions and have to slow them down half speed and replay multiple times. Your video was so easy to understand! Thank You!!!

[@VSStriker]

Much easier to learn and perform! Thank You!

[@JamesDC42]

I'm here because every knife enthusiasts channel explains it so quickly and vaguely it makes no sense. Thank you so much for taking the time to go over every little step.

[@melodydawn]

Same here

[@melodydawn]

The last channel , I watched a guy make 90 sec paracord Keychain, watched it in slow motion, his damn thumb was in the way , & opposite from the camera. Found another channel, camera is 4 feet above , so you can easily see how to make the COBRA bracelet, Paracord Keychain , was so much easier to understand & the direction of the knots was the same way , as doing it myself .. I definitely followed this lady :) A paracord actually saved my life, when I accidentally left my lights on , the mountains unfortunately had an automatic at the time , no one was around, had to build a fire just using my knife & a rock cause inside the paracord there are white strings that can Ignite pretty easy ontop of dry shrub.. Well I stayed warm for the night, tell I was able to wait for the sun to come up , walk down the mountain, then around 10am found someone on the road to give me a jump. . Thats one thing the automobile industry should make mostly stick shift vechicals, cause you can jump start em if, you accidentally leave the lights on, but vechicals will be all battery operated by 2030, = no more fishing at High elevation lakes , cause no charge stations will be up in the mountains... batteries put our more toxic emissions... crazy times , indeed....

[@julio4349]

Good afternoon I wanted to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for giving me a one hundred percent un crafty person the ability to accomplish my very first snake knot lanyard for a new knife I recently purchased I understand it may not be a big deal to any of you but I just learned how to master a round head on a stick figure and not make it look like it’s had a concussion lol your easy to follow steps and calming voice gave me the confidence to try it my family was totally shocked lol so thank you I added two different beads one was a lion head and other is a Celtic Cross to it I am so proud of myself thank you again stay safe, Healthy and more importantly Blessed !!!

[@Jay-gw7wn]

Made this so simple to do. It's a great video, thanks.

[@sakurojason]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering how !JBL did that knot on every flip speaker and now that I bought a used Flip Essential the knot was opened. Thanks to this video I was able to retie the knot. Nice video!

[@scrappinfairyof3]

Thank You!

[@3fitzgrld]

Great teaching. I appreciate this.

[@TaitGuy]

[@philgray1023]

Thanks for an excellent clear explanation. I am using it to make a puller for the inside of my boat hatch. I've seen some of your other video titles. I'm probably not going to be able to keep from doing them!

[@heikemorhart63]

Hi, I was watching a lot of parcord videos, but with you video I understand it easy. Thank for that. well done.

[@melanieb9861]

thank you!!! this is such a great tip!! at first i tried doing a box knot and i failed so i scrolled through more vids and hit this one and tried it!! it is way easier than box knot, so.... thx so much!!! cant wait to see next video!😉

[@stacyann7549]

You are such a blessing for me as a beginner. Thank you!! Do you have a tutorial for a stuffed animal hanging hammock?

[@kyleirby70]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I probably watched five other videos and still couldn’t get it until I found this one.

[@mattlip1376]

I always forget this one. Thanks for the refresher!!

[@frankquevedo6001]

Fantastic video. Fully understanding and pleasant to watch and listen. Thank you.

[@sihammer7942]

Something about your video, + the way you presented the subject, really worked for me + it all sank in nicely. All too often, this 'embedding' fails to take place, I'll admit to how a fairly thick + difficult to penetrate layer needs to be got through to that, sadly (for me), isn't! Seeing as though you were able to overcome these treacherous conditions, I thought it only right I thank + congratulate you for your outstanding work............
