Tape pattern to plywood. Make small indent where nails will be
drilled. Drill holes  all the way through plywood. Use the
smallest drill bit you can find. Nails must not slip through
holes, they must be tight.
 

DIRECTIONS:
Make all wraps on 1st layer clockwise and all wraps on 2nd, 3rd, and
4th layers clockwise.
1.   1ST LAYER:    Tie thread onto nail number 1. From nail 1 go around
nail 2, across and down around nails 66 and 65, back up around 3 and 4,
down to 64 and 63, up to 5 & 6, down to 62 & 61, etc. until you reach
nail no. 46. From 46 go around the corner to nails 45 & 44, across to
opposite side and around 68 & 69, across to 43 & 42, across to 70 & 71,
etc. until you reach nail no. 88. Go around nail 1 and over to nail no.7. From
7 go diagonally to nails 39 & 40, back around 6 & 5, to 41 & 42, to 4 & 3
and on until you reach nail no. 51. Go around 51 and then to nail 61. Run
thread diagonally to 29 & 28, to 62 & 63, to 27 & 26, to 64 & 65 ,etc.
until you reach nail no. 17. From there run thread back to nail no. 1. Cut and
tie tail ends together. Push this layer down evenly to bottom.

2.  2ND LAYER:   Tie thread onto no. 1. Wrap thread in the following order
making all wraps counterclockwise:
1-45      7-51      13-57      19-63
2-46      8-52      14-58      20-64
3-47      9-53      15-59      21-65
4-48     10-54     16-60      22-66
5-49     11-55     17-61      23-67
6-50     12-56     18-62
Run thread along inside of nails back to no.1. Cut and tie tail threads together.
Push this layer down to 1/2" above board.

3.  3RD LAYER:  Tie onto nail 1. Goto 57,2,58,3,59,4,60,5, etc. Continue
this pattern until you reach the first two starting points (1-57). Tie off as before
and push down layer evenly to approximately 1" from bottom.

4.  4TH LAYER:  Repeat the same procedure as in step three except use
different starting points. Begin at 1 and wrap to 67,2,68,3,69, etc. Continue
pattern until reaching starting points (1-67). Leave this layer at top of nails.

5.  Cut off all excess tail threads 1/8" from nail. Add a dab of Elmers white glue
to each knot to secure.
