RED grid.<br />

1 ↑bottom pin 0 to top pin 5<br />

2 ↓top pin 5 O1 to bottom pin 4<br />

3 ↑bottom pin 4 O1 to top pin 2<br />

4 ↓top pin 2 O3 to bottom pin 1<br />

5 ↑bottom pin 1 O3 to top pin 6<br />

6 ↓top pin 6 O4 to bottom pin 5<br />

7 ↑bottom pin 5 O4 to top pin 3<br />

8 ↓top pin 3 O4 U1 O1 to bottom pin 2<br />

⇐Two more increments in length <strong>with</strong> the top bight pin<br />

and wraps for the first cycle calculated and<br />

highlighted.<br />

You may see a pattern here in that each 4 part<br />

increment changes the top bight pin between pins 3 and<br />

1. The first cycle always terminates at bight 3 at the<br />

bottom bight boundary.<br />

These can serve as a check of the process to catch any<br />

error.<br />

A word about the mandrel size.<br />

The optimum circumference is (1.4 X the string width)<br />

X the bights (4). This is just an approximation and<br />

can vary as much as 50% if needed.<br />

The minimum spacing between bight boundaries is (1.4 X<br />

string width)X (parts ÷ 2).<br />

Eleven parts<br />

The rest of the knot (The white leads in the right grid)<br />

9 ↑bottom pin 2 O4 U1 O1 to top pin 0<br />

10 ↓top pin 0 O2 U1 O2 U1 O1 to bottom pin 6<br />

11 ↑bottom pin 6 O2 U1 O2 U1 O1 to top pin 4<br />

12 ↓top pin 4 U1 O2 U1 O2 U2 O1 to bottom pin 3<br />

13 ↑bottom pin 3 U1 O2 U1 O2 U2 O1 to top pin 1<br />

14 ↓top pin 1 U1 O2 U2 O2 U2 O1 to bottom pin 0<br />

⇐11 parts X 7 bights.<br />

The left grid is the first eight half<br />

cycles on the mandrel. Notice that the<br />

first Under Xing is at the end of the<br />

eighth half cycle (the black arrow.)<br />

A run list is below.(The first U Xing<br />

is at the end of hc 8.)<br />
