Figure 147.—Fly-flap lashing technique on Atiu net. a, end of handle with crossbar placed against end thus dividing bar into right and left half; one end of cord is fastened to end of handle with a running noose; cord passes obliquely upward from left and takes a complete turn (1) around right bar, crossing on top of bar. b, cord descends obliquely on back to left of handle and loops around front to right. c, from right side of handle cord ascends obliquely at back to form complete turn (2) aro…

Figure 147.—Fly-flap lashing technique on Atiu net. a, end of handle with crossbar placed against end thus dividing bar into right and left half; one end of cord is fastened to end of handle with a running noose; cord passes obliquely upward from left and takes a complete turn (1) around right bar, crossing on top of bar. b, cord descends obliquely on back to left of handle and loops around front to right. c, from right side of handle cord ascends obliquely at back to form complete turn (2) around left bar crossing on top and descends obliquely to right. d, cord loops around back of handle to left, ascends obliquely to right below previous oblique turn, and commences a second (3) turn around right arm. e, cord completes turn (3) around right arm, descends obliquely on back to left, and loops (4) around front of handle. f, from right of handle, cord passes obliquely upward at back toward left to make second complete turn (5) around left bar, and then passes obliquely downward to right (6) below previous oblique turn. g, sequence of turns is now established; complete turns alternating around the crossbar limbs and half turns around handle, alternately on front and back. Crossings are kept in line on top of bar and sides of handle. Sequence results in complete pattern (g) which is fixed by some transverse turns (7) which cover cord end.
