re: So I Need a Monkey Fist Made, Round rope ball.......UPDATE, did It !

What did you use for the core on it? For an 8" monkey's fist, I'd use a softball for the core. With 1/2“ rope, you'd probably need 5 to 6 rows to make the knot.

I've made plenty smaller ones. I even have a 3" one on my bow rope on the boat. I put a 3/4" socket for the core on that one. It weighs just enough to toss to someone waiting at the dock.
