the dragon plafond knot 🐲
carrick bends, using plafond tie

((( gonggg )))

two carrick bends [3Lx4B ring knot] are woven together to form a decorative lanyard knot,
circular in form, with serpentine features

90cm of 3mm cord

the secrets to tying this knot are to pull out all the slack but not over-tightened,
and to tidy up the diamond-shaped hole in the centre, pinch clear through it.

i have based the tying process of this dragon plafond on the steps first shown by Mark of @Paracordguild channel in his demonstration of the overhand plafond knot

...in browsing the internet i came across this igkt chart 17,
drawn by Geoffrey Budworth,
of the tying process of the plafond knot,
Chinese lanyard knot,
possibly dated 2009 ☺
