This would appear too confusing if shown in a diagram, but the knot is very easily made in practice.
Now lay any opposite two of the strands across the top in an opposite direction, and crown by passing the other four, each in turn, alternately over and under these two.
Each of the six strands will then come out leading in a downward direction alongside the strands forming the first walling.
Now follow round the walling again, when the strands will come through in an upward direction, each alongside a strand of the first crowning.
Follow through the crowning once more, and cut off the ends short, when a handsome and useful Stopper Knot will result, as shown in Fig. 81.
