So that's what it's called!
It's incredibly difficult to track something down on the Internet when you don't know its name; "A Wide Flat Cord" is not very helpful :-D
Oddly enough, the immediately preceding method of knotting a cord in my needlework book -- tablet weaving comes under "Weaving at Home on Small Looms", where it recommends 'strong fine threads such as cotton or silk', presumably covering embroidery floss -- is "A Square Knotted Cord of Four Strings", which according to the drawings appears to be the very one that I associate with those plastic friendship bracelets from the 1980s. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/02/93/3a/02933ae000d7034fe19f4fdd931e10fa.jpg
Unfortunately I literally only have the one lolly stick, apart from the one currently acting as a plantpot marker; I don't eat a lot of ice-lollies! I could probably cut some strips of cardboard.
