The Scapulae or The Head of the Caribou
(Alaska to Coronation Gulf)

1. Make The Gullet.

2. Drop 2 loops (fig. 49a - A). Remove 1 loop. Rotate it one half-turn  toward you and replace on 1 (fig 49a - B).

 

 

 

 

3. Share 1 loops: proximally transfer R1 loop to L1 (fig. 49b - A and B), then proximally insert R1 into both L1 loops (fig. 49c) and return to position.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Pass 1 away, close to its own hand, and proximally pick up 5f under 5n (fig. 49d - step A). Navajo the two proximal 1 loops over the distal loop (fig. 49d - step B).

 

 

 

5. Two strings loop around 1n, one on each side  From the far side, with fingers pointing towards the center of the figure, insert 2 and 3 between the near and far strings of these loops and catch between their fingertips the lower horizontal string passing between the loops. Place the string on the back of 2 and return through the loops (fig. 49e).

 

 

6. Widely separate 1 and 2 to complete the figure (fig. 49f).

Notes: At the MacKenzie River The Scapulae was converted to The Little Finger by grasping the 1f strings in one hand, the 2n strings in the other, and separating the hands.
