Figure 85. Snood lashing, descending figures-of-eight. a, inner side: commencement end (9) placed as in figure 84; thread descends obliquely to right and forms first transverse loop (1) below knob and close to it; thread ascends obliquely from left to cross in middle line over snood (7) and fix commencement end (9); it makes first upper loop (1′) close to upper end of shank (8); far end (10) of thread laid vertically upward and large loose loop (11) formed with gap (12). b, inner side: second lower loop (2) and second upper loop (2′); turns follow close below preceding turns and cross the vertical end (10). c, right side: relationship of upper loops (1′, 2′) and lower loops (1, 2) to knob 13; first loops have enough space below for descending series. d, right side: completed upper loops (1′–6′) and lower loops (1–6) in descending order with slack (11). e, inner side: end (10) of thread pulled upward and slack (11) drawn through. f, inner side: slack tied in series of four half-hitches (14) around snood; end stoppered with overhand knot (15); slack cut off.
