Fit the network over your ball ([Fig. 279]), allowing the covering to remain on the ball while you tie the bunches of strands into another row of four knots below the first row. Look at [Fig. 278]. The bunches are all numbered, showing how they are to be united. Corresponding numbers must be tied together: 1 with 1, 2 with 2, and so on. The result will be like [Fig. 280].

Keep the ball in the net and make another lower row of knots, which will give you [Fig. 281].

Now turn the ball over and tie two opposite bunches of strands up tight and firm against the bottom of the ball ([Fig. 282] A). Bring together the remaining two bunches, B and C, and tie them over the knot A. Again tie in a hard, firm knot; then bind all the strands together by winding with a separate piece of string. Fasten securely.
