Monkey's fist knot AND the monkey

Monkey\
I will show you how to tie a monkey's fist knot, and what you can make with them. I had aways wanted to know how to make these, and one day someone showed me how. They are really fun to make and whack people with.

Getting the supplies
You will need string only. My recommendation is shoestring or pea cord. Make sure it is very long, as in 1 to 2 feet.

Here's mine. I wanted to make one so I learned how to make a monkey's fist and it's my first ever monkey's fist project. And it has fists! :)

I remember finding one at the park once....a perfectly shaped one about the size of a big fist. My dogs play with it now :)

why is it that you used monkey's fist knots for everything accept for the monkey's actual fists?

the monkey is awsome but it is very hard to make without any photos

I believe someone already did this instructable on his headphones, but the principal is the same. But I was really looking forward to the monkey. Oh, and good pictures.

If you want to make larger Monkey's Fists, you will need to put a spacer in the middle. For example, I like to make mine with 2mm climbing rope, with three turns. A standard marble makes for a great spacer. If you were to use larger rope, you could use a golf ball. Still larger, think mooring ropes, and you can use a baseball. The spacer helps to keep the shape, and keep it from collapsing in on it's self.

good, instructable, but i your missing the what to do with them bit. also i was expecting u to show us how to make the monkey. plus the string u have used makes for hard understanding of the knots
