A SECOND WORM

The two Navaho girls at the St. Louis Exposition who taught me most of the other Navaho figures taught me this one also.

First: Put the thumbs through the untwisted loop and separate the hands.

Second: Bend each index toward you down into the thumb loop (Fig. 684, Right hand), and pick up from below on the tip of the index the near thumb string and return the index to its position (Fig. 684, Left hand).

Third: Bring the hands together, and pick up from below on the back of the right thumb the string which passes from the left thumb to the left index (Fig. 685) , and draw out the loop by separating the hands (Fig. 686).
