Repeat this four or flvo times, keeping nil tho loops tho samo longth over tho flngor. Let tho last stitch como on tho right hand sldo, so that when tho work Ib turned around ror tho loop to raco tho worker It becomes tho left hand. Holding tho work with tho loop toward tho body, pass tho needlo undor tho loops with tho point townrd you and pass tho slnglo thread to tho right under tho needlo.
