You can make a range of variations using less or more cord/knots. Shorten the loop for a double ended key chain or make the loop longer for use as a neck lanyard, a Lanyard Break-Away Connector could be added for the safety conscious. You can also add a wooden bead, skull, cord lock, etc. Visit my blog page for more knot related projects, links, and resources: Stormdrane's Blog. You can find ideas for other gear/gadgets to attach to your lanyard on EDC Forums.
Excellent Instructable! I've made countless cobra stitch bracelets since I first read your Instructable and finally tried this one out. Very clear instructions makes it really easy to follow! Great job! Now if only you could make an Instructable for a monkey's fist!
I did make a video for making a monkey's fist using rope. The thing that I think most folks have trouble with when tying them, is that you need to gradually tighten up the fist by just working a little of the slack out from one end to the other over several passes before it's eventually as tight as you can get it.
yup, you sure did haha. nice vid. the first directions i saw for making a monkey's fist were pretty clear and precise. it definitely looks easy. i guess the tightening part would be the most difficult part as you say.
Excellent Ible.
I should have obviously turned to you, stormdrane, and all of your great tutorials. You really have a creative knack for color, weave patterns, etc.
Thanks for sharing it all with us.
