Monkey fist emergency bracelet

This is my first ible, so I hope you like it. I have read the monkey fist knot ibles and i dont plan on re-hashing the monkey fist. This is one way I make a emergency bracelet with 550 para cord. I had a hard time figuring out how to make a bracelet with only 1 strand coming out of the knot, this is my solution to that. I used about 15 feet  (5m) of 550 para cord after making the monkey fist. it takes about 10 minutes to put this together, and about 30 seconds to take apart for use. You could make this larger to make a belt or bag strap to have more length of cord.







*note to the reader, this may be similar to other ible's, and if there happens to be an identical pattern, i did not mean to steel someone else's thunder.

Step 1 The loop

Once you have tied your monkey fist knot, and trimmed the stubbier cord, take the remaining cord end and bend it around itself as the picture shows.

Good Ible,

I have always called This weave is called monkey chain and not monkey fist as monkey fist is just a very large survival knot used as a knot to throw wrope very far. It is also used as a grappling hook.
I have an Ible that uses this weave to make a whip!!!
