Wind 2 shuttles Continuous Thread Method.

Wind your hand for a chain, hanging a paperclip on the thread at the beginning.

Round 1

Chain 4 ds, RW.

Ring 4 ds, sp, 4ds, lp, 4ds, sp, 4 ds, RW. (Chain 8 ds RW. Ring 4 ds, join to the last picot of the previous ring, 4 ds, lp, 4 ds, sp 4 ds, RW. Chain 4 ds, sp, 4 ds RW. Ring 4 ds, join to the last picot of the previous ring, 4 ds, lp, 4 ds, sp, 4 ds. RW) Repeat 2 more times. Chain 8 ds, RW. Ring 4 ds, join to last picot of previous ring, 4ds, lp, 4ds, join to first picot of first ring, 4 ds. RW Chain 4 ds. Remove paper clip and join to picot thread space.

Round 2

Split Ring of 8 ds, 8ds. Ring 8 ds, sp, 8 ds. RW. Ring 8 ds, sp, 8 ds. RW. (Chain 6 ds, lp, 6ds, lp, 6ds, lp, 6 ds. RW. Ring 8 ds, join to small picot on previous ring, 8 ds, RW. Ring 8 ds, sp, 8 ds.
