It appears more complicated than it is, imo. I think that anybody who had ever been taught to hitch a boat to a cleave could easily do this, for example, almost instictively as a figure of eight. That's what it reminds me of.
With a cord on a stationary object, all one would need to do is move their hand back and forth to loop the cord over and over from one side to the other a few times, then tie off the end. If I remember to buy some cord the next time I'm in town, I'll make a video to demonstrate.
Also, knot-tying is something scouts learn early on.
Apologies for replying to my own post here..
But Ive been sitting and staring at this image ever since I posted and something just occured to me. I think this is even more simple than I have always thought it was.
I don't know that it's a knot at all. It could be that the cord was just looped round and round the handle and then tied off.
