Complete the stitch by drawing all the strands tight. Continue making squares in this way until the strands are only about 2½″ long. The spiral braiding described on [page 6] may be used in place of this square braiding or in combination with it.
End the braid with a lock knot by looping each strand under the loose end of the overlying strand and through the top stitch as shown in figures 29-32. Pull the ends tight, making certain as you do so that none of the strands appear twisted. Then clip off the ends of the strands. ([Fig. 33].)
