I've tried the four bight from the Bud Brewer tutorial a few times and do not get it. What am I missing. I've followed your blog for about two years now and love your work. I have made many of the projects that you have made and really enjoy the final products. I think my favorite is the Chesapeake Bay lifesavers bracelet. I also made the Bud Brewer style. Thanks for the examples and ideas.

I hadn't gotten a chance to go all the way back through your entire blog yet, so i missed when you did the "Paracord bracelet in a side-by-side pattern".

An example is using a lanyard knot, loop on one end and two strands coming out the other, one strand can be pulled back partway through the knot and the other strand worked back in it's place, to create another loop, tightening up the knot to secure it. <br /><br />The two bight lanyard video tutorial, shows the process towards the end.
