Monkey's Fist

Once you have mastered how to tie the monkey's fist you are well on the way to being an accomplished knot tyer. In the animation below take time to study how the three sets of loops intertwine with one another. Also remember that the two ends will both be at the back of the knot once you have completed the three sets of loops, only on opposite sides of the first set of loops you weave.
