PoDiis of Piko. 117 



PiKO G (Fig. 123) is shown with a quadnxpled cord forming the ring. After 

 doxibling the cord twice, the ball cord is tied with a simple knot aronnd c and a at ^, 

 and leaving a loop aty^ two half hitches 

 are rnn aronnd or slipped over b and 

 d as shown at g\ h and /. In the speci- 

 men iignred the ring was joined by 

 passing b and d throngh c and tying a 

 to the latter. Then the loops b and 

 d together were used for the first knot 

 of the hanai. 



Piko H (Fig. 124). — After be- 

 ing looped at b and tied at c, two half 

 hitches are taken around the base of b 

 leaving a loop at d. Then the ball cord 

 is passed behind and around b ( seey" ) 

 and the loop^^'- slipped through the loop 

 thus made. At //, the last loop of the 

 piko, an additional half hitch is slipped 

 over b after the loop has been made.

Piko J (Figs. 125 and 126) is 

 simpler than F and one step further 

 on than H. In the specimen taken 

 as an example and figured. Fig. 125, 

 the piko could have been as easily 

 made with one piece of cord, bj- run- 

 ning )' on as a^ as with two. A de- 

 tached cord is bent double at z. 

 Then the ball cord is passed around 

 X and y and over the free end «■, to 

 begin the work, and back under x 

 and )'. Following this a loop is made 

 (seert'), twisted round and slipped 

 through the loop b thus left, and the 

 work continued with the ball cord c. 

 In the example figured, the ring was 

 joined by passing .r through z and 

 tying with/, when x and r were concealed in the first hanai knot. Fig. 126 has the end 

 cord wound once around the base of the loops as referred to in the paragraph on Piko F.
