Cobra Stitch Instructions

Learn the cobra stitch with my step by step video instructions and then use your new skills to make a paracord lanyard or paracord bracelet

This knot, also known as a Solomon bar or Portuguese sinnet, is really easy to learn. It might look complicated, but it's actually quite straightforward. Soon you'll be able to do it with your eyes closed. Yes really.

Just scroll down to the project your interested in. The knot is the same in each project, but the starting points are slightly different.


For Paracord Bracelet

Click the white arrow to play. If the video doesn't display, you might need to download the free Adobe flash player.

Something I forgot to mention in the video is that making the tightness of the knots determines the flexibility of the bracelet. Make the knots firm, but you don't need to yank them tight with all your might. That way you'll get a bracelet with neat-looking knots that's still flexible and comfortable.

(The first paracord bracelet I made I tied the knots too tight, and the bracelet was kind of stiff and uncomfortable.)

For Paracord Lanyard

Click the white arrow to play. If the video doesn't display, you might need to download the free Adobe flash player.

As with the bracelet, tie the knots firmly but don't yank them really tight, otherwise your lanyard will be stiff like a board.

King Cobra Stitch

Fancy name huh? But it's really just a second layer of stitches on top of the first.

Click the white arrow to play. If the video doesn't display, you might need to download the free Adobe flash player.
