King cobra and cobra stitch

The cobra stitch has got to be the most widely used stitch, it has been made into lanyard, key fobs, bracelets and even watch straps.
People often ask what is the difference between the king cobra and cobra stitch. Basically the king cobra is another cobra stitch on top of an existing cobra stitch. The picture below demonstrates this:

Made in either one or two colours this makes for a really nice looking lanyard. The picture below shows different combinations of colours and clip size:

I have also made these smaller cobra key fobs for those who want the cobra style but not the bulk of a larger lanyard:
