Shout-out to CRAIG in this video!! 😉 😉 😉 This particular version of the 6 Strand French Sennit comes from the Rigging Handbook by Brion Toss. If you are wanting to buy a book that is packed with decorative knotting projects, this is not the book for that. This book is dedicated to Rigging for sailing vessels. It is packed full of technical stuff that a rigger would need and want to know. However, there are a couple of decorative projects within the book, and this sennit is part of a decorative knife lanyard shown in the book.
I did find with this particular 6 Strand Sennit, it was a little more difficult to achieve a good even finish. I wonder if, my cordage that I am using is starting to loose it's hard lay qualities, or I was a little to keen to get through this project?
The formula for this 6 strand sennit is as follows; Split the leads into two sets of three (left and right), far left lead over one, under one and then to the bottom right. The far right lead is then passed under one and over two and becomes the bottom left lead.
This particular 6 Strand French Sennit is often used when creating say, decorative knife lanyards, neck lanyards or even as part of a decorative surround on a picture frame.
