Now tie the 2 threads to the cen-ter p. of a ring, and * make a ch. of 6 ; then with 1 thread make a ring of 3 d. s., then 5 p., each separated by 3 d. s., then 3 d. s. and close. Now make anotherch. of 6 d. s. hnd tie in the side p. of same ring, ach. of 6 d. s., tie in the side p. of opposite ring, 1ch. of 6 d. 3., a ring like the last one, 1 ch. of 6 d. s.,tie in the middle p., and repeat from *, tying thelast ch. to the first one where it started (see picture).This completes the first wheel.
