ASP Corporal Build, Part 2, New Kevlar Knot

First up you are instructed to tie a loop knot in the upper end of the Kevlar. This loop will tie to the elastic shock cord.
Usually I tie an overhand knot to make an attachment loop.
This might be my new upper attachment knot.

The instructions say to tie an overhand knot 6" or 7" from the end. I thought this was a bit long so I tied the overhand knot at 4" from the end.



The end is brought back through the loop in the knot and the knot tightened.
Then a half hitch is tied and pulled tight against the overhand knot.



The instructions state the loop can end up between 1" and 2".
I went for a 1" loop. A 2" loop seemed too long.
