I've been meaning to post this for a while, but just never got around to it. In the past I have tried many different possible ways to tie a koozie that will not only cover most of the bottle and fit it correctly, but I also want it to be durable and not smash in on itself. The gaucho interweave on a basic Turks Head Knot fits this bill perfectly. I've tied them out of paracord, as well as solid braided nylon, and both work. I have included some pictures on the final product as well as a couple of in progress.
Howdy, this is a blog where I try to incorporate my hobby of using paracord into western tack and other useful projects. I use this blog to provide pictures and descriptions of my work in order to show and educate others who enjoy this craft. Even thought I enjoy tying all kinds of knots, this blog is dedicated to tying and creating actual useful items. I get most of my inspiration from my grandpa, Ashley Book of Knots, things around Pinterest, and Stormdrane.

nice post
ReplyDeleteI love your post! I've been doing countless paracord projects but this one tops the list of my favorites! I've never thought of doing such a project and I'm glad that I've found your site. I think this one would also do nicely and protect my glass water bottle when I go camping. Yes, the paracord is very durable and I can wrap this around the bottle and maybe attach a sort of lanyard, as well.

ReplyDeleteWhat Turks Head is the base knot here. How many parts and bytes? Thanks. Norma
