How to tie a professional adjustable knot for a cord necklace

I really value having an adjustable cord for a Pounamu pendant.  It means I can take it on and off easily for sport, sleeping, swapping jewellery, etc.  I always put it in a safe place near where I sleep though.

It also is good for gifts as then they recipient can choose how they want their pendant to hang, high or low.  I have only once made one that didn’t fit over someones head, luckily making a toggle worked for him.  I usually start with cord length from the end of my fingers to the far side of my chest about a meter, this does get shorter when plaited into a 3 plait.
