1. Opening A, taking up the right palmar string first. 
2. Take the left hand out of all the loops, and let them hang down from 
the right hand, whose palm is turned down, fingers pointing to the left. 
3. Close the thumb and little finger of the left hand, insert them in the 
right hanging index loop near the index, spread them and draw the hand 
to the left, taking the loop from the right index and leaving it on the left 
hand in position 1. 
4. With the left index take up from below the right palmar string, and 
separate the hands. (Fig. 31.) 
5. Bend the right thumb, and take up from below on its back 
the right near little-finger string, and return the thumb to its former 
position. 
6. Bend the left thumb over the left near index string, and take up 
from below on the back of the thumb the left far index string, and return 
the thumb. 
Fig. 32.—The finished figure. 
7. Bend the right index, and pick up from below on the back of its tip 
the right far thumb string, and return, 
8. Bend the left index, and pick up on the back of its tip the left near 
index string, and return. 
9. With the lips bring the strings of the lower thumb loops up over the 
upper loops and the tips of the thumbs, dropping them on the palmar side 
(that is, navaho the thumb loops), taking care not to drop the upper thumb 
loops. 
10. Release the little-finger loops, spread the thumbs and index fingers, 
extending the figure between their tips as the palms are turned away, 
taking care that the loops do not slip from the tips of the thumbs. (Fig. 32.) 
Comparison. 
This figure is practically identical with the Caroline Islands “ catch ” 
(Mrs. Jayne, pp. 142 et seq.). The movements also correspond, though their 
order is slightly different. 
The “ catch ” follows the completed figure. If another person puts 
his hand through the central diamond, his hand will be caught in a loop
