Remove the thumb loops to the little fingers from the distal side. 



The radial left little finger string loops round the bottom string of the 

 shovel, then runs to loop round the lower transverse string. 



With the back of the left thumb from the proximal side take it up at this 

 latter portion of its course, then with the palm of the same thumb take up the 

 corresponding string at the upper end of "the shovel."
