1325. Start "A." Knots having an odd number of leads and an
even number of bights. (3L X zB raises to 5L X 4B, 7L X 6B, etc.)
If. • o Lay cord diagonally away from you to the right and around pin 17.
• 3 0/ Lay cord diagonally away from you to the left and around pin 2. Lay
3 •
• cord diagonally away from you to the right and around pin IS. Continue
2. • " SL rr • to lay the cord parallel to and in advance of the established lead. Turn
~art
• so that the work is constantly on top. All crossings are over until two
adjacent parallel leads are to be crossed at the end of the fourth diagonal.
Cross these with under-and-over that is contrary to the parallel lead,
forming a regular "basket weave." The working end crosses a standing
part each time it is led to the left rim. With this start a knot is completed
each time the ends are brought together around the barrel outside the left
rim, as in illustration 'If, 1329. The number of bights is even.
1326. Start "A." Knots having an even number of leads and an
odd number of bights (starts with zL X IB and raises to 4L X 3B,
6L X 5B, etc.).
Lay cord I, 17, 2, IS as before, and continue to lay parallel with estab-
lished lead. The first crossing is O'l-'cr (17 to 2), the second crossing is
under (2 to IS). All crossings thereafter are contrary to the parallel lead.
• A knot is completed each time both ends are at the left rim and the num-
• • ber of bights is odd .
• 1327. Start "B." Knots having an odd number of leads and an even
• number of bights (starts with 3L X 4B which raises to 5L X 6B,
• 7L X 8B, etc.) .
Lay cord diagonally away from you to the right and around pin 16.
Lay cord diagonally away from you to the left and around pin 31. Lay
cord diagonally away from you to the right and around pin 15. Continue
to lay cord parallel to other diagonals. All crossings are over until two
• parallels are to be crossed. Cross these with over-and-under, which is con·
• trary to adjacent parallel lead, and continue contrary to parallel lead. A
knot is completed each time the ends cross on the barrel to the left of
all other leads and the number of bights is even.
1328. Start "B." Knots having an even number of leads and an
odd number of bights (starts with 2L X 3B which raises to 4L
"l1i 2 A X 5B, 6L X 7B, etc.).
-
, Lay cord I, 16, 31,15,30,14 as before and continue to lay cord parallel
with the established lead. The first crossing is over (15 to 30) and the
second crossing is under (30 to 14). Thereafter crossings are contrary to
• the parallel lead. A knot is completed each time the ends cross on the
cylinder to the left of all other leads and the number of bights is odd.
Whenever, in tying the four knots just given, the required number of
#
• It:adS and bights have been attained, the knot may be doubled or tripled
as already described. All possible SQUARE TURK'S-HEADS may be tied with
one of these four starts.
1329. The illustration shows how to complete a knot commenced
with Start "A" as either 'If, I P 5 or 'If, I p6.
1330. The illustration shows how to complete a knot commenced
with Start "B" as either 'If, I JZ 7 or 'If, I JZ8.
