Would it not make much more sense to simply use a Surgeon knot?
You knw, like surgeons actually use.


Most surgical knots are formed by passing a length of suture material
around some tissue then tying the ends together with a 2=1=1 knot. This is
what most surgeons call a "Surgeons Knot". To make them more secure
surgeons will often add more throws eg 2=1=1=1 etc. Trouble is they still
come undone some times.
