It looks like it would fit loosely on a wrist. Not stretchy material but it can be tightened/adjusted.
minus-squarewizrad@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down4·2 days agoLooks like a pretty shitty prusik loop. Usually used in climbing or other ropes applications. A good prusik would be of a better rope quality and the knots would be more robust but same principle. More likely a summer camp bracelet of some kind.
