Take a piece of string, double it, pass one end of the string through the hole made by doubling it, and repeat.

* Added - The Monkey's Fist is very difficult to describe without a diagram - It consists of making 3 overlapping loops (look at the Ballantine beer symbol) - first make 1 circle clockwise, then double the circle laying the second line along the first; take the end, and now start an overlapping circle counterclockwise the same way above the first circle, over lapping about 1/3 of the circles; after the second strand is laid, go underneath the first circle and go to the left and alongside the first circle to make a 3rd circl, counterclockwise, with 1/3 overlapping both the 1st and 2nd circles; carefully pull the line tight and you have a Monkey Fist. This knot looks better and is more often done with 3 strands per circle.

The Monkey Fist was first described and named by E. N. Little in 1888. There are a few variations on the knot that are nearly the same, and some include using 4 or more circles.
