Ethnology of Manihiki and Rakahanga

Figure 84. One-piece hooks, snood lashing, ascending figures-of-eight. a, inner side: snood (7) placed on inner side of shank (8) and unraveled ends wrapped around knob in one of methods shown in figures 78 and 81; commencement end (9) of lashing thread laid obliquely over snood wrapping, takes turn obliquely downward toward right, transversely across back below knob, appears on left, and crosses obliquely upward to cross in middle line and takes transverse turn across back above knob to appear…

Figure 84. One-piece hooks, snood lashing, ascending figures-of-eight. a, inner side: snood (7) placed on inner side of shank (8) and unraveled ends wrapped around knob in one of methods shown in figures 78 and 81; commencement end (9) of lashing thread laid obliquely over snood wrapping, takes turn obliquely downward toward right, transversely across back below knob, appears on left, and crosses obliquely upward to cross in middle line and takes transverse turn across back above knob to appear on left; commencement end (9) fixed by oblique turn which passes over it and will be completely buried by subsequent turns; far end (10) of thread laid vertically downward to right of middle line sufficiently far down to be below crossing loop; large loose loop (11) formed and gap (12) indicates where most of it has been left out of figure for convenience in drawing. b, inner side: downward turn (1) made from last figure obliquely to right when it crosses vertical end (10) and keeps below first turn from end (9), which is regarded as fixation turn and will be subsequently covered; thread passes transversely across back to left, where it appears (2) above previous turn (1) on that side and ascends obliquely to right (2′) to cross back transversely to left (2′); in ascending turn, thread crosses end (9). c, right side: first loop (1) below knob (13) with fixation loop above it and loops (1′, 2′) above knob; lowest loop (1) sufficiently below knob to allow ascending series of loops to be spaced between it and knob; first upper loop (1′) spaced sufficiently far below upper end of shank to allow room above it for ascending series of upper loops; figure-of-eight turns will follow closely above each preceding turn. d, right side: series of five lower ascending loops (1–5) and six ascending upper loops (1′–6′) conclude series, only five loops show below because fixation loop has been covered. e, inner side: crossings of the two sets of loops in middle line, owing to covering of fixation loop, five turns show on right but six on the left; end (10) of lashing thread pulled down to remove slack and cut off below lowest turn (1).
