Page: 5 / 8

Fold each leach in half and tie a knot
1cm (3/8”) from the end.

Take the leash over the lower peg, up
between the centre threads, over a top
thread and down and around the same
peg.

The idea is to attach a leash to all the
top threads. Continue placing a leash
between each centre thread in the
same way.
