2.Carry the thong over the edge and pass it through the fourth hole from back to front. See Sketch A.

3.Carry the thong over the edge and pass it through the second hole from back to front as indicated by the arrow in Sketch A. Sketch B also shows the thong through hole No. 2.

4.Carry the thong over the edge and pass it through hole No. 5 as indicated by the arrow in Sketch B. Sketch C shows the thong protruding from hole No. 5.

5.Carry the thong back to hole No. 3, passing it over the thong (extending from holes No. 2 to 5) and under the thong (extending from holes 1 to 4). See Sketch C. The thong is shown protruding from hole No. 3 in Sketch D.

6.Carry the thong under the thong (extending from holes 4 to 2) over the thong (extending from holes 5 to 3) over the edge and through hole No. 6 as indicated in Sketch D. The thong is shown protruding from hole No. 6 in Sketch E.

7.Again carry the thong over and under a thong as before. See Step 5 above and pass it through hole No. 4. This step is indicated by the arrow in Sketch E.
