Figure 46. Two-section coconut leaf fan. a, longer section (10) with five pairs of leaflets placed above shorter section (11) with four pairs of leaflets, so that leaflets of under section fall into intervals of those of upper section; lower section leaflets shaded in figure; thus nine leaflets on either side. b, leaflets alternately crossed to opposite sides, commencing with right side; right upper leaflet (1) crossed to left and left upper leaflet (1′) crossed over it to right; next lower leaflet (2) on right crossed over preceding crossed leaflet (1′) on its way to left and next left lower leaflet (2′) in its turn crosses over preceding crossed leaflet (2) on its way to right; each leaflet crosses alternately from either side and either section until all leaflets have crossed concluding with 9′ over 9. c, nearest right leaflet (1′) bent with upward half-turn, passes under next leaflet (2′), and runs parallel with midrib to cross all successive leaflets (3′–9′) in check stroke; next right leaflet (2′) similarly treated and so in succession to sixth leaflet (6′); last three leaflets (7′, 8′, 9′) left as they are; first leaflet (1′) inclined to left as locking weft and made to lie parallel with left last leaflet (9); other right leaflets (2′–6′) turned in plaiting also incline to left. d, first six leaflets (1–6) on left successively bent with backward half-turn and plaited in check in similar manner to those on right; first of series (1) acts as locking weft and is inclined to right where it reaches right far edge defined by weft 6′; others follow suit and last three wefts (7, 8, 9) on left unturned; all crossing wefts plaited in check and point of plaiting formed by crossing of bounding wefts (6′, 6). e, of two bounding wefts, under weft (6′) doubled over crossing weft (6) and brought back along its previous marginal course to pass under crossing wefts (4, 2, 9′, 7′) where its cut-off end projects on near side of last weft (7′); weft ends on right doubled over double marginal weft (6′), those above it (4, 2, 9′, 7′) being doubled back and passed under one or more crossing wefts to fix ends; alternate wefts (8′, 1, 3, 5) under marginal weft (6′) doubled forward over it and ends tucked under nearest crossing weft; left marginal weft (6) doubled over second crossing part of weft 6′ and interlaced in check corresponding to its former course where its end (6) projects on near side of last crossing weft (7); weft ends on left far edge treated in exactly same manner as on the right, wefts behind marginal weft (6) being doubled upward over it and those in front being doubled backward; fan thus completed with straight far edges which meet in median point.
