Stage A. 



With the palm of the left thumb from the proximal side take up the vertical 

 string that runs from the upper transverse string to the middle, then, passing 

 the thumb down beneath the left ulnar little finger string, take it up, drop the 

 left little finger loop, and transfer the left thumb loop to that little finger from 

 the proximal side. 



*From the ulnar left little finger string there are two strings running side 

 by side to the middle of the figure. Pass the left thumb in under them from the 

 proximal side, then take up with that thumb, also from the proximal side, the 

 radial left index string. Navaho the thumb and drop the index loop.* 



Insert the left index from the distal side into the left thumb loop and hook 

 its palm round the radial string to the right of the first loop that passes round it. 

 Draw it through and drop the thumb loop.
