Making sure to keep the horizontal cords straight and in

order, continue weaving as follows. Moving from bottom to

top follow the pattern (under, over, over, over, under, over,

over, over) Place a pin and moving from top down, follow the pattern

(under, under, over, under, under, under, over, under)

Repeat a second time as shown.

You are done weaving! Now it is time to tighten the knot.

Remove the pins from each of the inside loops. Dont forget the pin

next to the star in the picture

Fig 6

Pull gently and evenly on all the outer loops until the knot begins totighten as shown.

When the knot starts to form, unpin the knot and remove fromboard.

Tighten further until knot is smooth and flat and weave is tight.

TIP: Using different color cords to helpsee the different loops, think of this step

as weaving your cord through the purple

(inner) loops and around (over and

under) the orange (outer) loops.
