This glow-in-the-dark pouch is made with CoolGlowStuff.com 3/32" glow cord. I used about 16 feet of cord, 1 ft for the cinch cord with cord lock and 15 feet for the pouch using half hitching/needle hitching for the knotwork.
I tied the pouch around the Gerber Infinity Ultra LED flashlight with a #1 sized S-BINER, but it would also fit something like a similarly sized pocket knife.
Whatever you tie it around needs to be slightly larger than the object you'll store in it when used for a pouch. This makes it easier to insert/remove the object. Different sized sections of PVC pipe make good mandrels for knot work. Paracord is great for pouches too, but on a smaller object like the flashlight, it might seem overly thick for what's inside(YMMV).

Please make a diy for this half hitch pouch, I would love to know how to make one.
love your work
It was tied just like this Swedish website's bottle covering, except I started with a separate cord lock and cinch cord, like seen in my previous blog post. You just tie onto that cord and start half hitching(also called needle hitching).
I'd suggest tying around a section of PVC pipe that is just a little larger than the object you plan to put in the pouch, or use some other cylinder shaped object that you can slide the knotwork off when finished.
Stormdrane your are the godfather of knots!!!
I think I'm still just an amateur, sticking with the easy stuff. ;)
could you please do more tutorials?have you ever thought about making your own book?i know how to do alot of the knots,but i dont know how to go about starting or ending alot of the projects.i am a lineman and i enjoy your blogs.if you were to write a book i bet it would be a best seller!keep up the good work!
Hi Stormdrane, i agree with Anonymous about you being the Godfather of Knots. I have tried the swedish website's instructions but alas, it's not clear and quite confusing. Please could you post a vid on half-hitching a hiker's bottle, with clear start and end instructions. I would like to protect my metal water bottle from being dented and damaged. Thanking you from Cape Town South Africa
