Braided interlocking loop

An interesting method of joining two thin lines is this knot published by British knot-tyer and author Geoffrey Budworth in 1999. Its main advantage is that it spreads the load and therefore the wear and tear over a longer length of line. That means there’s less likely to be chafe resulting in a nasty surprise. Apart from that, the knot also has some decorative merit.

1 Tie a fixed loop, such as an overhand loop (page 110), in the end of one line.

2 Put two twists in the loop, and pass the working end of the other line through it. Tie a figure-eight in the end of the second line, a few feet from the end.
