Rh loop out, at the same time turning the right index away from you and up to its usual position (Fig. 655).

Second: Give the index loops one twist, by rotating each index toward you, down, away from you, and up again.

Third: Give the thumb loops one twist, by rotating each thumb away from you, down, toward you,

and up again (Fig. 656).

Fourth: Put the middle, ring and little fingers of both hands toward you through the upper triangle at the centre of the figure, then over the cross strings and down into the lower triangle (Fig. 657), and finally close these fingers down on the palms (Fig. 658).

Fifth: Put the left thumb from below into the left index loop and enlarge the loop slightly. Bring the left thumb and index string between the tips of close to the right index, and pick up the right near index the left thumb and index (Fig. 659), and, without remov-

ing the right index, draw it through the loop passing around the left thumb and index, which is now allowed to slip off these fingers. Insert the left index away from you through the loop which you have been holding between the tips of the left thumb and index, remove these fingers and leave the loop on the left index (Fig. 660).
