Constrictor Knot (from Wikipedia)

1. Make a turn around the object and bring the working end back over the standing part.
2. Continue around behind the object.
3. Pass the working end over the standing part and then under the riding turn and standing part, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn.
4. Be sure the ends emerge between the two turns as shown. Pull firmly on the ends to tighten.

This knot, in combination with a thin cotton string, is now my favourite way for pouch attachement. I like it more than the method with the thin latex stripes - it`s simply faster with a bit of routine.

Not sure about making it a sticky, but I've moved it to Slingshot Tutorials.
