16. Tack it diagonal angled down, then tie half hitched knots to the center rope and repeat on the other side so they meet in the middle.
17. Repeat step 15-16 to complete 2 more rows of half hitched knots, use the 2 outer ropes left out as knot-bearing ropes for the last grouping of 2.
18. Take the center rope and pull it over the other ropes and tack it into place.
19. Tie a larks head knot over the tacked rope with the yarn.
