BH. —Take loop off 7 and place behind wrist by taking up its wd / 
string and passing it over radial side of wrist. 
BH—Place va wr string proximal to ra ¢ string, but distal to all 
the other strings, onto the back of 7. 
BH —Pass wrist loop over into palm. 
BH.—Drop loops off 7 into palm. 
There is now a loop in front of each palm. Pick up that on R 
side with back of Z 7. Within this same loop on Z 7 pick up that 
on LZ side with back of FR 2. 
BH.—Through i loop pick up wi ¢ string and place it distal to wl 7 
string onto the back of m. 
BH.—Drop loop at back of 7 into palm. 
BH.—Place / loop onto ¢ and 7, 
so that there are now two loops 
on each ¢. 
BH.—Slip proximal ra ¢ string 
over distal ra ¢ string; 1. e., over 
thumb into palm. 
In BAZ, in the fork between mm 
and 7 there are two strings (7a m 
and wl 2) crossing each other as 
they enter the palm. Insert the 
m between these two strings, proxi- 
mal to the crossing, tightly into 
each palm. 
Each ¢ is now in a triangle, one 
side of which faces it. 
& H—Hook t over (distal to) the 
string facing it, and in this posi- 
tion turn ¢ and m downward and outward, at the same time slipping 
the loop off 2. 
662. Looking-glass. Mak., Pat. (fig. 280). 
&H.—Position 1, opening A. Place ¢ loop over 7 and m. 
BH—Put 7 loop on m and ¢ loop on 7, distal to loops already 
there. 
BH. —Pass the single loop at back of both fingers distal to the 
double ones (i. e., those on 7 and m) and then pass 7 and m loops 
over the single loop (which is kept in place) into palm and draw out. 
Get an assistant to throw a second loop over these, as in the sting 
ray, etc. (sec. 701, fig. 317), and hook the 7 and m of each hand 
(distal to this piece of loop on each side) into their respective loops 
and draw out, at the same time slipping off those at the back. 
In place of ¢ and m of your two hands holding the four loops, get 
assistant to help you and let every corner loop be held with a hand.
