Figure 208.—Hafting technique, double lozenge design. Two smaller lozenges are formed on the front of the adz so two points are selected for the first crossings:

a, the commencement end is fixed with one transverse turn made high up so as to be covered by the lower lozenge. The braid runs obliquely upwards from the lower right side, osses the lower middle point (1) and passes round the back in the toe angle. Reappearing on the right, it crosses obliquely upwards over the second middle point (2) and passes transversely round the back of the heel; b, the braid makes a downward oblique turn from the right, crosses the second middle point (2) and passes transversely round the back of the toe high up. It reappears on the right and descends obliquely over the first middle point (1) and continues down to pass transversely round the back of the lower part of the foot. The two crossings (1 and 2) have now been formed and successive turns are made below and then above the first turns; c, after the ascending turn reaches the top the second time, a transverse turn is made round the front of the heel just over the end of the poll and then continued downwards in the oblique turn. Three of these transverse turns are made altogether (3). After the fourth descending turn, a fifth ascending turn is made. Instead of descending again, the braid is continued back over the shaft round which it is fixed with three turns (6) in the usual way. The crossings at the sides close to the shaft are arranged in order so as to form a crossing pattern. The descending turns are marked 4 and the ascending turns, 5; d, the appearance of the two lozenges on the front is shown.
