Start with a Carrick Bend
Tying

The diamond knot begins as a Carrick Bend with the ends
exiting diagonally
opposite each other.Each working end is then passed over the other
rope's standing part.

Then the ends are passed up through the
center of the carrick bend from below.
The knot is then gently rearranged and tightened so that the ends
emerge from
the knot parallel and opposite their own standing part. To finish the
knot is further
tightened by carefully working the slack out towards the standing parts
and ends.
