left little finger loop (Fig. 569) , the left little finger over the left far little finger string, and the left index over the left near index string.

When the left fist is thus closed, you have a string coming out between the index and middle finger, two strings coming out between the middle and ring fingers, and a string coming out between the ring and little fingers. Over the backs of the fingers, at their bases, there is a string arournd the index finger, a string around both the middle and ring fingers, and a string around the little finger (Fig. 570).

Fifth: With the thumb and index of the right hand pull up slightly the string on the backs of the left middle and ring

fingers, and pass through this loop to the back of the hand the four strings coming out between the fingers of the left fist (Fig. 571); let the strings, pulled entirely through, hang down on the back of the left hand (Fig. 572).
