Braiding Knots

[jiml]

I'm trying to braid a pair of split reins and have hit a road block. I'm going off of memory of a pair my dad used to have. I'm using 8 strands, part of it is flat braid and part is round. My problem is the end knot, I want to braid a knot that will slip through the ring on the bit and then come back through the rein to secure itself. I have found some pineapple knots on here that kinda look what I'm after but not exactly and they don't really show how to braid them. I have done endless internet searches but don't know what the knot is called and therefore haven't found it or how to braid it. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!! Well it's that time of year again, I know you have sent a couple of documents in but your name came up on my CNS and COI report. If you already have these please forward them to me so that I have a copy on hand and I will make sure that they get in!

I found this picture that shows what I'm trying to do in theory!!
