Bonito hook, simple snood-head lashing: a-c, side views; d, top view. a, shank head (1) held with median ridge and snood (2) up; hole (3) through head; head point to right; commencing end (4) of thread passed through hole from far side, laid vertically against near side of head with end bent toward left so that subsequent turns may fix it; thread drawn taut on far side, brought over snood and through hole from near side; all turns ascend on far side and descend on near side; first turns pass over bent short end (4) to fix it against side of head; two turns (5) drawn taut; third slack turn on left will complete covering of short end when thread (6) drawn taut, b, main part of lashing (5) completed with about ten turns which pass over snood without any turns around snood itself; thread from last turn brought up on far side and passing under snood to left of lashing (5) is carried horizontally to right over near part of lashing, passes under snood, and returns from right to left over far part of lashing; passes under snood and repeats circumferential turns (7) making three in all, braces lashing; thread (6) after last turn passes under snood. c, fixation of free end: thread to right of completed part and on far side of snood; series of close seizing turns (8) made; end may be fixed by couple of half-hitches, overhand knot with end also stoppered with overhand knot, or by turning end back under two or more loose turns subsequently drawn taut; slack removed by pulling end; thread cut off close (6) to seizing. d, lashing turns (5) through hole on both sides, circumferential turns (7) passing under snood and over hole turns on both sides; seizing (8) with fixed end (6).
