Introduction: 14 Face Globe Knot
The 14 face globe knot is similar in appearance to the double monkey fist knot. . It is easier to tie
Top left is a cat toy. I used 6' of cotton cord using a 1" diameter "jingle" bell core. Three times around. Enough cord left over to tie loop.
Top right is a Fob/pull/luggage ID. I used 6' of paracord. 1" diameter wooden ball core. Three times around. After tightening the knot I pulled the slack back until I reached the middle of the three plies. I tied the overhand knot to lame the loop and re-tightened the knot. Had about 9" of cord left over.
Bottom knot zipper pull/Christmas ornament used a marble for the core. Three times around. Enough cord left over to tie the loop.
Step 1:
Take the WE (Working End) in a loop to the left and back to the right under the SE (Standing End).
Step 2:
Bring WE up over two and back down to the left.
Step 3:
Bring WE to the right over two and then under, over, under
Step 4:
Bring WE to the left over SE.
Step 5:
Bring WE up under, over, under, over and back down on the left.
Step 6:
The knot is complete. Bring the WE next to the SE and add as many extra plies as desired.
Step 7:
For those of you not familiar with the tightening process I have published a separate instructable that covers that process. The title of the instructable is "14 face globe knot part 2"

Just a suggestion... Add more steps showing how to complete the knot. Someone who's not experienced in knot tying will never accomplish the knot.

absolutely right... I used to macrame in my youth, so I have slight knotting experience, but these instructions were not nearly enough to teach me this. Not enough there to help me visualize the end result or the final steps
