1. Do Opening A.
2. Insert thumbs and all fingers into index-finger loops from below and put down the loops on the wrists.
3. Thumbs pick up near little-finger strings.
4. Little fingers pick up far thumb strings.
5. Bring all the strings running between the hands to the back of the right hand through between the right thumb and index finger.
6. The left hand picks up both right thumb loops and holds them temporarily.
7. Bring back the strings running between the hands to the original position and then put back the right thumb loops.
8. Do Steps 5-7 for the left-hand side using the right hand.

and a 180-degree twist toward you to index-finger loops.
