Koozies from Paracord and Nylon Cord

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.

  1. I 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. If you need more ideas, you've got to see this site: http://backpackingmastery.com/skills/paracord-knots.html

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