Step 2 - Rotate the R hand loop a half turn towards you.

Pass the R hand loop between L1 and L2 to the dorsal side of the L hand, then press L1 against L2 to trap the R hand strings.

Pass the R hand loop over L1 and L2 to the palmar side of the L hand, then separate L1 from L2 and extend.

The loop on L1 shifts to L2.
