Introduction: Fiador Knot Lanyard
A easy way to tie this confusing knot used as a horse halter. The extra loops that make up a fiador knot make it ideal for use as a lanyard.
For an alternate way to tie the knot See
Step 1:
Fold cord in half and bring folded end over itself to form upper loop of fiador
Step 2:
Bring the 2 ends under the loop to form the bottom loops of the fiador
Step 3:
Turn the bottom strand of the upper loop over the top strand and shift the inner circle to the left over the outer circle (circle made inn step 1)
Step 4:
Bring right hand end over, under the two strands of the loop
Step 5:
Bring left hand end - under, over the two strands
Step 6:
and bring that same end under everything and up through the lower loop as shown
Step 7:
Bring the remaining end under and up through the upper loop
Step 8:
Grab the two ends and the upper loop in one hand, and the two lower loops in the other hand and pull in opposite directions to form the knot
Step 9:
Slowly, one strand at a time tighten the knot to form the fiador
Step 10:
You can use it as it stands or tie another fiador above it as I did here
Step 11:
If you are going to cut 0ff the ends close to the fiador: For security tie the ends together with a constrictor knot. Push the constrictor as close to the crown and wall before tightening it and trimming the ends. For synthetic material trim the ends and sear them together with a flame
