Strength/Reliability
The Diamond Knot begins as a
Carrick Bend. The working ends are then passed over each other's standing parts and then passed up through the center of the Carrick Bend from below.
Note
The animation shown here uses two separate ropes with different colors to better show the structure and tying method. Often it will be tied with a single cord forming a loop at one end.
