The present invention is a method of attaching a ring member to a cord using a minimum of steps. The method includes the steps of providing a hobble cord having opposite first and second ends and a plurality of loopy. The loops of the cord are preferably preformed onto the cord and are integral thereto. Each loop formed on the cord has a loop opening dimensioned to receive one end of the cord. The first end of the cord is first threaded through the ring and the ring is then positioned to sit adjacent one of the loops between the loop and the first end of the hobble cord. The first end of the hobble cord is then threaded through the opening of the loop. The ring is then firmly secured to the cord by pulling the cord all the why through the loop. The steps may be repeated to attach more rings to the cord in succession.
