step
Combine the 12 individual strands into 6 pairs of 2
strands each. The strands that are paired up should
be adjacent to each other at Point A. If done correctly,
there should be 1 "S" strand (clockwise twist), and 1
"Z" strand (counter-clockwise twist) in each pair.
Lay out and measure from the end
of each rope a length that is equal to
1 d length. Wrap tape around the rope
(Point A). Tape each of the 12 strands
at the end of the rope. After the ends
are taped unbraid each rope back
to Point A.

Tape the 2 strands
together. It is desirable
that these strands retain
some twist. To twist
the strands, hold the 2
strands as shown and
rotate the taped end
between the strands to
retain the original twist.

Join the 2 ropes together
at Point A and combine the
pairs by starting at any 1 set
of opposing set of strands
and inserting 1 pair of strands
between the strands of its
opposite pair. This step is
alternated, right, left, etc.,
around the rope until all pairs
have been joined. Draw strand
pairs tight to bring both ropes'
