The footrope/diamond knot is an attractive ending knot for a project. However, it can collapse with handling

This knot uses the under two wall knot to lock itself in place

This knot is similar in appearance to the locked footrope using the over two crown knot

Make a crown knot. Each strand goes over the adjacent strand to the right

Bring the first strand under TWO strands

Bring the second strand under TWO

Bring the third strand under one and under and up through the bight from the first strand

Bring the fourth strand under and up through the bights made by the first two strands

Tighten slightly. Now bring each end under the strand immediately above it to go through the center of the first crown knot

First end

Second end

Third end

Fourth end

Tighten and trim ends

If you combine the over two crown knot

and the under two wall knot you will get a knot that when pulled tight is VERY difficult to untie
