Figure 79. Ruvettus hook, snood lashing. a, inner side: braid end (1) laid against shank (1′) on right of snood (3′) and partly beneath it; braid brought down on right, taken transversely around back under knob brought around on left and crossed over itself as it continues (2) upward to right. b, right side: first transverse turn (3) below knob (2′) spaced sufficiently below it to allow of subsequent turns above first loop (3); braid (2) carried obliquely upward to cross upper slanting part of knob and so spaced as to permit of subsequent turns above it. c, inner side: braid (2) makes upper loop (4) across back above knob, reappears on left, crosses previous turn and snood wrapping (4′) in middle to form first regular pattern crossing (5), and descends obliquely to right to form another loop below knob. d, right side: first loop (4) above knob with first regular pattern crossing (5) and braid (2) passing obliquely downward to right to make second lower loop over first fixation loop (3). e, inner side: commencement of lower loop (6) on right where it passes over fixation loop (d,3) and conceals it; appears on left (6′) and ascends to cross above first crossing (5) and continues obliquely upward on right (7) to cross above first upper loop (d, 4) covered in figure by braid (2); makes upper loop and reappears on left (7′) above first loop (4); braid continues to make lower and upper loops and to cross in middle line on inner side, each lower loop successively above lowest loop (6) and each upper loop successively above loop 7. f, right side: lower loops below knob (2′); above, lowest regular loop (6); upper loops above knob and successively above lowest upper loop (4); crossings on left. g, outer knob side: space below knob having been conveniently filled in with about five loops, braid (2) carried obliquely down below knob preparatory to fixation; two loose transverse turns (8,9) made over thumb which is removed and end (2) of braid pushed up from below under turns, h, outer side: turns (8,9) drawn taut and slack removed by pulling end (2) upward; end cut short; fixation not good, but rough sennit fiber holds very securely.
