under the outside right (border) strand and hold it there while you return

all of the previously-worked central strands to the vertical position. Now
turn the strand you are holding to the right around the right-hand side
border strand and then weave it from right to left under one but over all
of the remaining strands on the left, and lay the strand away to the left.
Take the next strand in from the right and reeve that under the strand to
its left and over all of the remaining strands, laying it away to the left
(figure 110.2). Repeat this last movement for all of the remaining strands

except the far left (border) strand. Hold the last-worked strand to the left
while you return all of the other strands to the vertical position (figure
110.3). This now completes the first ‘over and back’ working and you can
repeat the whole operation until you reach the required length.

To finish, hitch the secured ends of all the strands together; haul tight the
working strands and hitch them together with the border strands at the
other end.
