Set the first link of chain directly on top of Strand Pair A and lace these two
               strands up through the link. Lace Strand Pair B down through the link, making
               sure it crosses Strand Pair A.


















                  Repeat this procedure with Strand Pairs C and D through the second link, then
               return to  Strand  Pairs  A  and  B  for  the  third  link,  and  so  on.  In  this  fashion,
               leapfrog down the chain. Two strand pairs cross through each link, and each pair
               skips  a  link  before  entering  another  from  the  side  on  which  it  exited  in  the
               previous pass.





















                  Continue this two-part process until ten links have been filled, then finish the
               splice  on  the  eleventh  and  twelfth  links.  To  finish,  remove  the  tape  from  the
               strand pair ends. Separate the two strands of each pair, pass one through a link
               (either the eleventh or the twelfth, as appropriate) and the other around the side
               of  the  same  link.  Then  seize  the  two  strands  together  closely,  as  shown,  to
