Step 1

Thread the line through everything one more time.

Step 2

String 8x T1, 1x T2, 1x T1 and 6x T2 onto one half of the line. Thread the line through the second hole of the 5th T2 one more time. Pace the T in a „zig-zag“ formation. 
Fill in five spaces between the T: 1x T2 into each of the first two gaps and 1x T1 into each of the remaining three. Also thread the line through the second hole of the last added T1.

Step 3

String 1x T1 into the gap under the R on the second half of the line. Thread the line through the holes of those beads threaded in the 2nd step. Also thread the line through the second hole of the T1 under the R loop.

Add a T1 and T2 to the gaps between 
the T. Add 1x T1 to each of the first two on the left-hand side and 2x T2 to each 
of the three lower gaps. Add 1x T2 to each 
of the side gaps. Also thread the line through the second holes in the T2 added above.

Tie off both halves of the line between 
the central T2 and pull it into the T and S.
