Help with how to tie this leather knot bracelet?

[4ngi3]

Hi would anyone happen to know of a tutorial that would show me how to tie these knots on this bracelet pictured? I love the "rings" of leather close to the metal plate but unsure how to begin or secure them in this fashion. I've seen a tutorial for the sliding knot on youtube but I guess if I know how to do the "rings" (im sure thats not the correct term for them) then I will be able to figure out how to incorporate the sliding knot too.

Or even if you can tell me what the technique for making the "rings" is called I can google it myself.

Thanks!

Hi, I looks like what us Girl Guides called "whipping" or possibly "lashing". I wouldn't recommend googling either term on its own, heaven knows what you'll get! Should be out there though, try searching for knot websites, yes, they exist!

Thank you Nammie! Looks like its the "common whipping knot". I never would have guessed or found that no matter how long i googled, so thank you so much! :)
