Tips and Tricks
The small monkey fist, with three windings each, benneeds no Ffilling. Starting with four wraps, you should put something inside the knot. This can be a marble, wooden bead, a tinfoil ball or anything else.
In general, the following applies: the knot is made, that is, the rope does not go to the right place by itself. Especially when tightening, it is important to make sure that the rope is in the right place. You might have to push it with the corkscrew to the right place.

In this version, I always pull the rope across the ball, so that it is a bit gefüllt. The knot at the beginning you can do, however, it is then usually in the way at the end and must be geopened again or cut off.
Proceeding
Wrap the rope three times around the fingers.
||
Pull the rope across the knot.
||
Wrap the rope three times around the existing wraps.
||
Pull the rope across the knot again.
||
Within the first wraps, wrap the rope around the second wraps.
||
Pull the rope across the knot.
|||
Tighten.
Memorizing the position of the last loop of the first wraps on the first loop of the second wraps. Do the same from the second wraps to the third. Splater when you have tightened, it is difficult to find out the weiterführung of the rope. That's why you should prsaw them briefly.
You can also mark the start of the rope with waterlsoluble felt-tip pen.
||
Two to four times. The corkscrew can also be used to help with this. (Be careful not to damage the rope by pulling on individual strands!)
||
Knot the loop.
Forthis, you can make a double figure eight, a palm knot, or a wrapped knot.
