There are links at the bottom of the blog to some knot tying sites if you feel up to the challenge. Try the Boondoggleman.com link for instructions on the cobra stitch which is also known as a Solomon bar, square knotting, Portuguese sinnet, and often used in macrame.
I have played around with using shock cord/bungee cord in the core to make the bracelets and paracord watchbands stretchy/adjustable, but haven't liked how they've come out so far, but may try it again later.
I also was using some velcro cable ties to try and get an adjustable version, but will have to play around with it some more too. It was really grabbing and pulling on the paracord threads when I tried tying over it with the core strands, and I didn't like the way it looked, having a couple of inches of velcro exposed for the adjustable section compared with a short side release buckle, but again that's something I may work on later, or someone else may give a go and run with it...
