A sennit or sinnet is a braid, chain or band composed of a repeating (sequence) of knots. Note that sennit and sinnet are used interchangeably. A sennit, then, is an extremely broad category of thing of which there are effectively infinitely many. It is such fertile ground that sub-crafts have sprung up devoted almost solely to sennits.
Boondoggling, lanyards, and scoubidou are concerned mostly with crown sennit variants tied in plastic lacing. Still very popular as an activity amongst scouts and guides.
Paracord has developed into a whole industry that began with a modest Portuguese sennit bracelet. While paracord is a contraction of parachute cord and originally referred to the material, it also refers to a truly astonishing number of macramé band variants (also called "ties").
Multi-strand knots are another source of popular sennits such as the crown sennit and the wall sennit, the smallest example of which is the snake knot sennit.
