[March 12, 



Bang the string over the left thumb so that there is a loop about 

 two inches long on its radial side. 



Put the right thumb and index into the short loop from the radial 

 side, encircle the long loop and insert them into this loop from 

 its ulnar aspect, and return through the short loop. 



Grasp rlie two long strings with the right little finger below the short 

 loop and rotate the left thumb once clockwise. 



Pass the left little finger distal to the strings, to the radial side of 

 the right thumb loop and hook it round the radial thumb string 

 from the proximal side, release right thumb. 



Place the right index tip to tip with the left thumb, and transfer the 

 index loop to the thumb. 



Xavaho thumb and extend.

Opening A. 



Insert each index into the little-finger loop from the distal side ; bend it 

 towards you and pass it to the proximal side of the radial little- 

 finger string, and bring it back to its original position by passing 

 it between the ulnar thumb string and the radial index string. 

 Release little fingers. 



With little fingers hook down the two ulnar index strings. 



(Release thumbs gently and insert them again into the same loops 

 in the opposite direction.) Pass thumbs to the palmar side of 

 the strings, passing obliquely from the radial side of the index 

 fingers to the ulnar little-finger strings and pick it up on their 

 backs. 



Transfer thumb-loops to little fingers. 



Pass thumbs away from you through little-finger loops and to the 

 palmar side of the double strings running from index to little 

 finger. With backs of thumbs take up these strings, returning 

 through little-finger loops. 



Release little fingers and transfer thumb-loops to little fingers.
