Strand 2 should end up at the base of the strand to its left (Strand 3). Repeat

the action described above, but do not leave a loop this time. Continue twisting
pairs around the center until there is only the Strand 1 loop and one loose strand
remaining (Strand 6). Slip Strand 6 up through the loop from the bottom, as
shown.

Tighten the loop around Strand 6. Your work should look like a circular row
of crown knots.
