the same as the previous two, but the compression of the ring at the four points gives 

 a ver^• different effect. 



The five foregoing piko were all made with the shuttle and attached to netted 

 hanai. They were, too, more often used in the koko pualu than in the koko puupuu. 



Piko F (Figs. 119 to 122) was found to be the most common in the koko puu- 

 puu, and this and the following 

 styles were made from cord on 

 a ball, not a shuttle, and were 

 attached to the knitted hanai. 

 Four methods of forming the 

 ring in this piko are ilhistrated 

 in Fig. 119. Diagram i shows 

 the end cord a looped and tied 

 with the ball cord, forming b. 

 Then the ball cord is looped 

 at g^ passed under /; at c and 

 through the loop g at d ; or, a 

 half hitch is formed and slipped 

 over /;, following which the ball 

 is passed ai'ound /; at i\ the 

 loop / passed through c d and 

 the ball carried round b to the 

 next point. In Diagram 2 the 

 cord is bent at b and the ball 

 cord carried round the end cord 

 a 2X c and the loop / made as 

 before. In the next diagram, a I'l^-- '"'•'■ native with alamo or imoarixg stick. 



slip knot is tied to the end cord a at c/, whence the loops /j etc., are formed as usual. 

 The loops of the piko in these three diagrams continue along b until the piko is of 

 the requisite size, when the end cord a is passed through the end of the loop /;, knotted 

 or twisted and concealed, as also in Diagram 4, in the first knot of the hanai. In Dia- 

 gram 4 a double ring is made and the ball cord wound once around the end cord a at /;, 

 and the loop / proceeded with as before; the cord a is left free to enlarge or decrease 

 the ring during the work. The appearance of Piko F is shown, obverse side in Fig. 

 120, and reverse side in Fig. 121. In this piko and some of those following, the end 

 cord a after being attached to b is sometimes wound around the bases of the outer 

 loops / once or twice for ornamental effect. Fig. 122 shows Piko F with the end cord 

 run twice around the loops.
