Continue around the loop until you come back to the main braid. Then make a square as follows: Holding the braid as in [figure 18], cross the two rear strands. ([Fig. 19].) Bring the rear right strand down over the forward right strand. ([Fig. 20].) Loop the latter over the first strand and bring it down between the other two strands. ([Fig. 21].) Loop the third strand similarly over all the strands and bring it down in back. ([Fig. 22].) Bring the fourth strand over the third and through the loop of the first. ([Fig. 23].) Pull the strands tight ([Fig. 24]) so that the top appears as a square.
