STRING FIGURES
{

Seventh: Put the right thumb from below into the right index loop (Fig. 127, Right hand), and with the left thumb and index (Fig. x28) or with the teeth, lift the right near thumb string up over the tip of the thumb, without disturbing the

string which passes around both thumb and index. In like manner put the left thumb from below into the left index loop (Fig. x27, Left hand), and with the right thumb and index (Fig. x29), or with the teeth, lift the left near thumb string over

the tip of the left thumb. Do not pull the strings tight after this movement. There are now two straight strings which cross the thumb loop and form a loop around the string passing from the back of the thumb to the back of the index.
