      mine didnt work my paracor ended up just having a broken end you suck

      Just because your paracord broke at the end doesn’t mean he sucks.

      @@errornoname4763 Paracord doesn't break, jerk. Just because you cut the paracord, doesn't mean this guys is terrible. Before you say "well you don't know that" I know just one string (with a knot of paracord of course) can hold up to eight hundred pounds. I know, I tested it.

    As a complete beginner this knot looked particularly intimidating for some reason. Thanks to this tutorial I got it first try and looking great!

    I made some before using crown knots as the core. It worked really well, I was able to pull them super tight, and they were nice and round. I wanted one to be bigger, so I tied one crown inside another, and that worked out great.

  • @bkmash41
    @bkmash41 8 ปีที่แล้ว +174

    I tightened and loosened the same string about 20 times! I felt mentally deficient but finally did it. It is harder than you made it look lol I think I will make a mark with a sharpie on the next one so I know where I started.

    • @TheWeaversofEternity
      @TheWeaversofEternity  8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      I've been there before too! But yes, marking the starting point will help a lot.

    • @othulsebos2060
      @othulsebos2060 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      i found out that the start is the first bit of rope you go under when going backards from the end is the beginning
      if it makes sense

    Hey man just wanted to thank you! I made my fist monkey knot after watching this video, and I have been doing this kinda stuff since it was called macrame! Lol for anyone reading this I used a pipe cleaner with a little hook to mark the start it was easy to pull out and left no trace!! Thanks again brother!!

  • @mrsjama8

    @timwelch175 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    This is great. I've seen these used as pass though anchors for tarp tie downs to great effect. Never really knew how to tie one until now. This is one that once you see it made you can easily remember it. Thanks for sharing!

  • @bueukillustrator89
    @bueukillustrator89 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Glad to find your video. I learn this with an all-black cord btw. Took me half an hour to figure out which cord to pull on the tightening phase. patience is the key.

    @pamestrada2823 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for the tutorial! I did it once and then used that end product as a base for a second layer and just added a fourth pass. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself and it's a decent size.

    Two things:
    1) Tim, I've perused just about every channel offering paracord bracelet tutorials, and yours are the best, by FAR. Thank you for putting the time, energy, and effort into making these videos. I think I may speak for everyone when I say that.
    2) If you don't have a steel ball bearing available, don't want to fork out the dough for 'em, or what-not, but DO feel like running to Walmart and/or the Dollar Store, you can use polymer clay, and a marble if you like, to make the center bead. I took a small marble from a bag I had lying around (bought at the dollar store), and some scrap Sculpey Bake Shop clay ($1/2oz. @ Walmart in the crafting section ;) ), and made my own 'ball bearing'. It might not be as heavy as a steel ball, but it's got a really good weight to it, and works perfectly for the center of a monkey's fist.
    ... Just my two cents (OBviously, LOL ).

    I started with a Celtic button knot and got a really nice, even-looking monkey's fist. The overhand knot is quicker and less fidgety, but if you've got the time and the extra length of paracord I think using a Celtic button gets you a much prettier monkey's fist.

    Great tutorial. I used a stopper knot instead of the overhand. It used less cord and was simpler. Also, marking just above the knot with a sharpie made it really easy to find which line to tighten first.

    Thanks! You made it look so easy but I kept on ending with one side missing a loop and some of cords were not sitting flat & I had a large loop that I couldn't get rid of. Was hilarious! I think the mistake was that I wasn't sure where I started so might have started pulling the wrong cord. But won't give up 😂😂
