How to Make a Monkey Fist  
By Curtis Nichols (9-12 classroom)

The monkey fist is a decorative knot that fascinates children.
Monkey Fist How-To Book

This book is not a set of exercises for students but rather is a set of directions for the teacher. It includes plans for making a simple frame that will help students (whose hands are not yet adult size and large enough to construct a monkey fist by the usual methods.) Students can, of course, profit by referring to it during their construction of the monkey fist.
