Here’s a 4-1/2 foot dog lead I’ve been working on for the last week. The handle is a 3 color variation of ABoK #2996, an 8 strand, double-edged, flat braid. The body of the leash is an 8 strand gaucho braid, also in three colors, and it has a 4 strand round braid loop for the snap. The transition between the loop and the leash is a Matthew Walker knot. The colors and the pattern made me think of falling leaves
