How To Make The String Figure Nine Eyes
1. Start by facing the palms of your hands together with
your fingers pointing up. Now loop the string around both the left and
right thumbs and extend by stretching your hands out so that the string
is tight.
2. With the little finger of your right hand pick up the
far right thumb string. Do the same with the little finger of your left
hand and extend.
3. Put loops on each thumb and little finger by taking a turn
around each little finger with far little finger string and a turn
around each thumb with near thumb string.
4. With each index pick up from below the little finger loop of the opposite hand.
5. With each ring finger pick up from below the thumb loop of the opposite hand and extend.
