as you pull it through.
STEP 3:
Take the next strand on the left. Tuck it under the
next strand to the right of the one under which the
first strand was tucked. Pull it through as before.
STEP 4:
Now turn the whole eye over. Take the last strand
and make the tuck as before under the only strand
on the standing part of the rope not used yet. Now
stop and ensure that each working strand has gone
over a strand and under a strand, and that the whole
lot is pulled tight and twisted in its natural sense.
No two strands should come from under the same
strand.
STEP 5:
For the remaining rounds of tucks, take each end
