Monkey's Fist

A monkey's fist is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist. It also looks somewhat like a volleyball. It is tied at the end of a rope to serve as a weight, making it easier to throw the line, and also as an ornamental knot. The knot is tied around a small weight, such as a stone, marble, tight fold of paper, or a piece of wood. Start by wrapping the rope around four of your fingers. Once there are three wraps, wrap it three times around the three lengths between your middle and ring finger. Then insert the weight and tighten the rope. You could use this for its original purpose or as a keychain.
