Instructions:

1. Make three similar loops.

2. Then, weave two of the outer loops across the center. Do this in an
“over and under” sequence, similar to a fishtail braid.
3. Now, thread the end of the rope under and over the middle—across
from it—so that the structure could be locked.

4. Follow the path a second time to have it secured.
