                                         This sinnet is very easy to
                                         make. Begin with an
                                         overhand bend made with all
                                         four strands (1). Figures 2
                                         and 3 show the preparation
                                         for the basic crowning shown
                                         in figure 4. Working always in
                                         one direction (in this case
                                         clockwise). insert each strand
                                         in the turn formed by the
                                         subsequent strand. This
                                         produces a closed shape
                                         which is the basis of the
                                         crown sinnet. Figure 5 shows
                                         the knot being tightened and
                                         demonstrates how a
                                         cylindrical object could be
                                         inserted as described above.
                                         Finally. figure 6 shows the
                                         finished sinnet and how
                                         decorative it is. It can be
                                         finished off by tucking the
                                         four strands into the center.
