Maglite Wrap #4: 3 Bight Turk's Head

This LED 2-Cell MAGLITE is another one of my dad's flashlights. This three bight, thirteen lead Turk's Head Knot contains four passes. Using my Perma-Lok lacing needle, I wove about eight and a half feet of each color around the flashlight handle.

I wanted to try a woodland camo color scheme for this wrap. So I cut and gutted four colors of nylon 550 paracord from Supply Captain: dark olive drab, dark brown, olive drab, and coyote brown. I believe I like the look of four passes the best on these MAGLITE wraps. I think four passes gives a sufficient weave given the diameter of these flashlights.
