End Loops

When I try tieing a monkey fist knot, I end up with the one loop, I can’t work into the two ends. Why?

I don’t put a bead into the inside of the knot, my bead slips out. I know the hand placement of the knot, but still end up with the extra loop, on the opposite loop of the ends.

This page: http://www.homeofpoi.com/lessons_all/teach/Library-How-to-make-your-own-gear-Fire-Poi-How-to-make-a-MONKEY-FIST-knot-12_54_225
has an animated diagram of “how to”. If you read below… in the “cons” it says it requires a lot of strength to pull the knot tight. I suspect you are making your beginning loops too big and not applying enough brute strength when trying to tighten down.
