TWO COLOR COBRA STITCH DOG LEASH : 10 Steps (with Pictures)

Here we go. Cobra Stitch or Solomon Bar dog leash with two colors!

Step 1:

What you will need.
1. Paracord your choice on color. I chose OD green and Black because it matches the collars that the dogs already have.
2. Lighter to burn the ends with. Torch lighter works the best.
3. Cutting device.
4. Hemostat
5. Snap for the end of the leash
6. Beer and time.

Step 2:

First things first. Get your cord and cut it to the size you want. I made a 4 ft leash and used 60 feet of each color to have plenty left. Take your snap and cow hitch both cords to it. Adjust the cords to the middle two are to the length of leash you wish including the handle. About to start weaving.

Step 3:

Time to start. take the right most cord and go under the middle two with it and over the outer most on the left.

Step 4:

Take the opposite cord up and over the middle two and through the loop created by the previous step. Make your knots tight and push them towards the snap. This will give you a good looking dressed knot. Keep going until you get close to the length you want. Make sure you include your handle on the end as it will be doubling back on itself.

Step 5:

This is where the hemostat comes in. Once you get an acceptable length loop the knot back on itself. I personally took the middle two cords and pulled them through the middle of the Solomon Bar with the hemostat where i continued towards the snap with the same knot.

Step 6:

After you pull the center cords through with the hemostat continue the weave over the top of what you have already done. This will start to strengthen your handle.
