    Default Split Faced Monkey Fist Tutorial (ABOK 2207)

    A split faced monkey needs an even number of turns. In thias case I made 6 turns around my jig and took the Working End to the right.

    then I took the WE Under 3 strands, Over 3 strands, 3 times.

    Next I went Over 3, Under 3 strands 3 times

    In order to keep the over under sequence correct bring the WE across the top of the knot and around the upper left hand peg of the jig.

    Begin Under over weaving immediately as you go down the left hand side of the knot. When you get to the top side of the knot bring the WE under 3 strands over 4 and continue the weave.

    After completing the under over sequence, so that you do not have 2 overs in sequence bring the WE under all 6 strands on the left hand side.

    When you get to the top of the knot bring the WE Over 4 Under 3 and continue the over, under sequence

    Take the MF off the jig and slowly tighten the knot. You will notice that there are 3 places where there is an extra strand that is under all 6 strands of the crossing face (see center of untightened knot photo). If you want you can make a loop of this strand by bring it up in the middle of the face as I did in the first photo. Tony
