alana:
has anyone ... seennit? 🙂
it is difficult to find a knot if you don't know the name,
so anyway,
the weave shape in 'the' plafond knot - what is that called?  - it is very alluring, 
i was after a(nother) knot that features it prominently, or completely,   
took 5 months of it sitting in my notes till i had a closer look at it,
took the long way round,
i found the plafond version of it, 
then reverse engineered it to find it is a simple-ish braid of overhand knots,
but tied in the crown direction.
could be new;
i will record a video if it hasn't been done yet

clover leaf corners also an option

guitar fingerboard - with to-scale fret spacing if you really really wanted to!

alana:
what is this shape called? 
i have been calling it an 'aster',
but - not knowing my flowers - it is nothing like an aster flower.
it is 'a square (or diamond) with one end of each line overhanging the adjacent side.'
i couldn't find it in wingdings. or the internet
it's sort of the shape in and of the chinese crown knot .
my cousin says ninja star.
someone here will know!

anyway i really like the formation, as featuring in the 'plafond knot',
from two overhand knots being woven together. 

alana:
i am on the lookout for such a braid or sennit with the beautiful-square-weave-shape on all four sides,
does it exist?,
the next holy grail,

for now i am happy with the 7Lx4B 2-pass cylinder, which has a diamond dot on each of 4 sides, 
drawing me to it like a moth to a lantern

maybe I'll have to learn how to tie using a mandrel for the next one up!
drawing me like mustard on a cat's tail

p.s re: the sennit
it is a four-strand braid,
i think

I have also been looking for a name for that formation.  First I thought: it's the multiple person wrist handshake (https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/three-business-people-join-hand-together-523980463) there's got to be a name for that, right?  But there doesn't actually appear to be a name for that?  (https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/10186/does-the-forearm-grip-handshake-have-a-historical-basis)

Then, I thought, engineers should have a name for it, it's more or less a mechanical iris/circular shutter formation, no? (https://content.instructables.com/F83/KGLP/H3Z3V2IU/F83KGLPH3Z3V2IU.jpg), but I could not find a name for the shape.

When I first read your post I thought I knew what you were asking for, but on second read I'm not so sure.  8)

In any case, what I thought you wanted was this //www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lh85Cne2-c vertical crown knot.

There's also this "tumbling box" version //www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0gR38sQXoo
