Split Faced Monkey Fist Knot

[asemery]

I made 4 turns around my monkey fist jig and then instead of going as usual I went Under 2 strands, over 2 strands, then over2, under 2 to split the sides into 4 segments. I repeated this action in the third set of turns so that each face of the monkey fist has 4 segments.

I made my jig from a block of wood and 4 dowels similar to this (sorry, no personal photo)

Here is a bent bit of clothes hanger. Size it to the diameter of the core you are covering.* MUCH easier than tying around your fingers and less cord required (I have fat fingers).* Tony

Use the wooden jig for the split faced knot.* Pull out the dowels to release the knot.* The bends in the wire jig make it very difficult to release the knot.* Tony

Looks very cool. Gotta break out my jig and make one now!

I tried 3 colors using the split face technique. Opposite colors are yellow red, yellow black and red black.

Another fine looking piece of work.
