Turks Head Flashlight
This is a great knot to cover any sort of handle.

I learned how to tie this knot with a great video on YouTube.

Lanyard
I added a simple Chinese button knot for a lanyard which can be found in the ABOK as #787 and just attached it with a key ring for this one. Using the line from the Turks head works fairly well also.
Finishing Touch
I like finishing up the knot with a little imperfection. Tells you where the knot starts and ends at the same time. I just gave the last bight four plies then tucked each of the working ends under the next TWO bights
