Another pretty kind of cord is a knotted one. It is made in the hand in most primitive fashion by using the two first fingers as crochet hooks. The thread used for making it should be stout and firm. To commence making the cord, knot two pieces of thread together and place the threads in position as shown in [fig. 150]. The next step is shown in [fig. 151], which is the index finger of the left hand bringing the darker thread through the loop. [Fig. 152] shows this thread looped on the finger, the cord held in the left hand instead of the right, and the right hand in process of drawing the lighter thread, which was the last loop, tight. The next move, [fig. 153], shows the right-hand first finger making the new loop with the lighter thread, and [fig. 154] shows the loop on the finger, the cord passed over to be held in the right hand again, and the left hand this time pulling the last loop tight. Continue making the cord by following out the last four positions consecutively.
