Hawaiian Nets and Netting. 



Hanai B (Fig. 112) is the fisherman's knot with one or more extra windings 

 around the engaged loop, as at g and g . 



In some of the koko puupuu the knots of both Hanai A and B are used as in 

 Fig. 134. Fig. 135 is a specimen of koko puupuu with Hanai B. 



Hanai C (Figs, no, in and 136). — This is the square or reef knot, makili^ 

 gg\ Fig. 1 10. Sometimes in beginning a large hanai, additional loops //, Fig. in, were 

 run on to the loops of the piko 

 for the purpose of enlarging the 

 periphery of the hanai. 



Fig. 136 shows the speci- 

 men from which Piko D, Fie. 

 116, was illustrated. This was 

 a particularly well made and 

 finished netting used as an cl;c. 

 On completion of the piko the 

 shuttle cord X' was looped at ;/ 

 (without tying to the free end c?) 

 and knotted to the piko loop p 

 and so carried round the circuit 

 to /. The cord / was then looped 

 and the rows of the hanai com- 

 pleted, the work travelling bous- 

 trophedon. To join the ends 

 of the rows, the shuttle cord ni 

 is brought back from the outer 

 edge of the hanai by knotting 

 from side to side until tied with 

 a to /• at /'. 



The three foregoing styles 

 represent the netted hanai, which have the ends of the rows joined in the manner 

 just described, or else by the free end a netted from side to side towards the outer edge. 



Hanai D (Figs. 137, 113 and 133). — The principle of this, the basal knot of 

 all the knitted koko, has already- been partially illustrated in Piko M, N and O, but 

 since it is so generally used, fuller details of its technique in the hanai are given in 

 Fig. 137. The loops XX are those of the piko, andy^is the completed knot of Hanai D, 

 known to the natives as pan. In Diagram i, the ball cord a is looped b through the 

 next piko loop, and, Diagrams 2 and 3, the slack c being left, the loop d is bent and 

 placed under b. Then c is wound round b^ d and the bight of .r and the slack taken
