Multi-Color Monkey Fist

Step 9 Begin to tighten

In this step you will begin to tighten the cord. You will pull slack to work with and begin working the slack out of the line toward the other end of the blue cord. Remember, don't pull the cord too tight at first, your goal here is to only gradually snug up the cord one color at a time in a rotation while attempting to keep the other colors in mind by keeping the strands in shape and order. As you get the knot tighter, this is where the pic comes in handy, helping pull the cord. I know it sounds confusing and complicated, but the more of them you do the faster and better you get the hang of it. "ANY THING WORTH HAVING TAKES TIME TO ATTAIN".

"ALSO, DON'T FORGET... YOU MUST GRADUALLY TIGHTEN EACH COLOR AND REPEAT THE PROCESS TO AVOID OVER TIGHTENING. IF YOU OVER TIGHTEN, IT WILL RESULT IN YOUR OTHER CORD TO DISFIGURE AND GET OUT OF ORDER."
