slip under it

then under the crossed string Figure L
- 17 goes to 31, slip a bead under the crossed string (Your numbers
will be different, since you already did a few, but you get the idea)
- Keep braiding until you reach desired length
- Always leave the braid if you have to stop with the 3 strings down, that
way you can pick back up where you left off.
- At end of braid, leave strings on disc, and tie opposite end strings to
each other in knots, until all strings are tied
- Slip ends through big hole bead Figure O
- Separate threads in two sets Figure P
- Slip one set of strings through jump ring in one direction Figure Q
