9. The Turk's-Head neckerchief slide is formed by following this strand Y around three times; i.e., until there are three rope/braid strands parallel to each other all around the slide (Figs. 40, 41, 42).

10. The second time around is indicated in Fig. 41 as well as the beginning of the third time around. Fig. 42 indicates end X on the completion of its third time around.

11. In doing this it may be necessary to take in the slack from time to time in order that there will be a sufficient amount of material to complete the slide.

12. A fid or any blunt-pointed tool is a useful aid in this step. It is important to adjust the slide so that it will be neat as well as the right size. Then, too, it will be necessary to remove the slide from the fingers when you thread end X around for the second and third time (Figs. 41-42).

13. The slide ends at the same point at which it was begun (Y). This completes the neckerchief slide. The tassel is intended to dangle in front of the slide when it is on the neckerchief.
