The Pleiades
Steps 1-6 are the same as those of "Many Stars".
1. Do Opening A.
2. Thumbs move over index-finger loops and pick up near little-finger strings.
3. Middle fingers move over palm strings and index-finger loops, and pickup far thumb strings.
4. Release thumbs.
5. Thumbs move into index-finger loops from above, then move under intervening strings and pick up the far little-finger string.
6. Release little fingers.
7. Index fingers move into middle-finger loops from above and hook up near middle-finger strings.
(Instead, you may pass index-fingers under near middle-finger strings and pick up far middle-finger strings.)
8. Release middle fingers.
9. Thumbs pick up both near index-finger strings.
10. Navajo the lowest thumb-strings softly.
11. Thumbs hook down the released loops. The thumb loops drop naturally.
12. Wrap the upper far index-finger string around both index-fingers one turn.
