He said to put 2 open loops into the first set of 4 closed loops. Then said to add a 3rd closed loop to the 2 closed loops to make it 7 loops. When you split the 2 there is a 3rd one and makes it very difficult to do any of the step.<br />Your is non complicated. I just wished yours was more captured to the right. The guys hands are to the right of the screen most of the time.<br />Very good instructions.<br />Thank you.
