. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Eskimo String Figures 103 B Opening B.

With the backs of the little fingers push the ulnar thumb strings out through the index loops, withdrawing at the same time the ring and middle fingers of each hand. Close the last three fingers over all but the radial thumb strings and with the backs of the little fingers draw this through between the radial and ulnar little finger strings. With the right thumb and index take hold of the radial left index string and remove that loop to the left thumb. Draw out the original left thumb loop from under it and place it on the left index. Drop the left thumb loop. Do the same with the right hand, but place the thumb loops, not on the right index, but on the left thumb. Drop the right thumb loop. Remove the right little finger loop to the right thumb and the left little finger loop to the right little finger. Close the left thumb and index so that their loops do not slip off, then turn them downwards so as to straighten their loops, and separate the hands.
