    ROTlll Put each hand in the string, having it run back of the wrists. Bring the left ulnar string to the radial side and proximal of the radial string, then distal of it and place it on the little finger without twisting it. The strings to the right hand will, however, be twisted near the middle. Run the right little finger from the radial side under the upright string, which runs between the left ring and little finger, taking this string up on the dorsum of the finger and separate the hands. Place each wrist loop on the corresponding index finger without twisting. Passing each thumb on the distal side of the index loops, take up on its dorsum from the proximal side the strings between the ring and little fingers. Return the thumbs to position and place on their distal ends that part of the index loop which is between the index fingers and the thumb. Release the first loop put on the thumbs by pulling it over the second and the end of the thumb. There will be a triangle formed between each thumb and index finger. Place each index finger in its triangle from the distal side and continue the twisting of the hands (toward the body, then down, then out), at the same time releasing the little fingers. If the thumbs and index fingers are not kept well apart the figure will be narrow. (FEL, 11.) 687. Line 3, after each the add distal. Line 10, add as far as (C). 689. Line 3, add as far as (C).
