Figure 10-7I–M. Finishing the Star Knot. Continuing
the procedure as in (H) it becomes a bit tricky with the
fifth strand (I). Turn the knot over. Each strand con-
tinues following its neighbor through the knot, finally
emerging in the middle of the knot (J). Turn the knot

at the rim of the knot. Two views of this step are given
in K and L. Draw up carefully, working slack away
from the stem, one strand at a time. A finished Star
