Continue knotting until the filler pieces are covered. To close up the top, you
will use a modified version of the same knot. To start, separate the six strands
into three pairs. Use the pairs to tie the knot just as before, but arrange it so the
ends go through the loops from the top downward. Make the knot of three pairs
tight.
