ARCTIC STRING FIGURE PROJECT

A Man Throwing a Duck Noose
(Indian Point)

1. Position 1.

2. R1 distally catches up L5f from the near side (fig. 149a). L1 distally catches up R5f from the near side (fig. 149b). Release 5 loop (fig. 149c).

3. 5 proximally enters 1 loops and points away from the body (fig. 149d). 5 passes under the 5f TV string and hooks it down (fig. 149e).

4. 2 distally enters the 1 loops, picks up the upper 1n diagonal string, presses down the lower 1n TV string and rotates with it to the far side of the figure with an Index Twist (fig. 149f - step A). Release 1 loop (fig. 149f - step B). You have formed a two diamond figure.

5. Two diagonal strings cross in the center of the figure. L1 and R1 pick up those strings at their crossing point from below (fig. 149g). Inuit Ending.

6. R2 passes, from the far side, just under the 1n TV string left of the crossing loop. R3 passes, from the far side, just over the 5f TV string left of the crossing loop. Close R2 and R3 to the palm (fig. 149h - step A). Release R1 and R5 loops (fig. 149h - step B) and extend.

7. R3 proximally enters R2 loop (fig. 149i). Navajo the R3 loops (fig. 149j).

8. Reverse the R2 loop on R2 (fig. 149k - step A). R5 proximally removes R3 loop (fig. 149k - steps B and C). L2 proximally removes L1 loop (fig. 149k - steps D and E).

9. R1 proximally enters the R2 loop and, rotating downward, catches up the two strings of the loop passing around the R palmar string and points upward (fig. 149l). L1 proximally enters the R1 loops (fig. 149m). Extend.

10. 1 picks up 2n (fig. 149n). Navajo the two lower 1 loops over the upper loop (fig. 149o).

11. Release R2 loop (fig. 149p - step A) then release L1 loop (fig. 149p - step B). A noose moves across to the right forming A Man Throwing a Duck Noose (fig. 149q).
