>>138011>so it would be less likely to slip out of my handIt will still slip, it will only prevent it from falling on the ground, and while hanging at your wrist, you may hurt yourself. It's a bad idea overall, I myself use it only in situations where losing it means it's fucking lost, like when climbing, or crossing a bridge.
You don't really need any braiding, only two knots: a cow hitch to the handle, and some bend knot of your liking to tie the two together; a simple overhand knot is enough for me.
I also tie a metallic bead to the end, so the lanyard is always hanging down; quite useful when it's strapped to my back, I can easily find the lanyard hanging down and thus find the handle.
