I hope someone can help me find a source or provide instruction for making Monkey Paw Knots. I want to embelish a slim belt for a plain dress, and can’t recall how to get started. I need to be able to create them along a line of “rope”, so need to judge exactly how much length each will take. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.northnet.org/ropeworks/archive/monkpaw.html
What an interesting site! I used to make those knots from satin cording for buttons, but I'd forgotten what they were called. They look like Celtic knots before they're tightened. And I found directions to make cording (they called it "rope"). Thanks.
