P. 33
Tuck the next working strand over the strand you just tucked under, and under
the strand just below it (B).
Turn the entire piece over (C). You have one working strand left to tuck, and
there is one strand in the standing part of the rope that doesn’t have a working
strand under it. Make this tuck, continuing to work counter to the lay of the rope
(left to right in the drawings).
Take care when you are tucking that you use all three strands in each round,
and that you tuck under a strand in the standing part of the rope and not under
one of your working strands.
