SIX-STRAND
CROWN SINNET
AROUND A CORE

Six double cords are used
here, as they make it possible
to cover even large cylindrical
objects. This is not an easy
sinnet to make. so it is better
to practice first on sin nets that
use fewer cords before
moving on to this one.
Method
First split the pairs of cord into
two groups (1 ). Pass the
bottom pairs (in this case.
white, orange. and navy)
under the core and
interweave them through the
top ones, which do not move
for the moment (2.3.4). Now
interweave the upper pairs
(tweed. yellow. and blue)
through the bottom group,
passing them over the core
(5.6.7). Figure 8 shows the
result, with the cords pulled
to the right for the sake of
clarity. You need only arrange
them symmetrically around
the tube to see that the first
mesh of the sinnet has been
successfully completed.
Repeat the same steps to
produce the completed sinnet
(9) .
