Rh near index string to slip over the knuckle of the index and to the far side of the finger. Now put the right index (still bent and holding the strings on its near side) from below into the thumb loop, by pressing the near side of the bent index toward you against the right far thumb string, and putting the tip down toward you over and on the near side of the right near thumb string (Fig. 275). Pick up, on the far side of the bent right index, this right near thumb string, and lift it and the former near index string up by turning the index away h-ore you and up to its usual position

Third: Release the loop from the right thumb (Fig. 277).

Fourth: Give the loops on the right index a twist by rotating the index

away from you, down on the near side of the little finger loop and then up toward you.

Fifth: Put the right thumb from below into the two loops on the right index, and draw the thumb away from the index in order to enlarge the loops.
