step

Beginning at the marriage, tuck a marked pair of strands under the nearest unmarked pair.

Then tuck an unmarked pair under the nearest marked pair of strands.
Complete 1 full set of tucks tuck in one direction with all the strands and then do another

full set of tucks on the other side of the marriage. Pull everything tight before proceeding.
Continue tucking the strands around the rope until you have completed 6 full tucks on each side of the marriage with all the strand pairs.
Next, select the strand closest to the marriage point in each pair. Tape this strand and cut the excess off as shown.

Splice the remaining single strands for 3 more full tucks.

The tapering process continues by reducing the volume of each remaining strand by half

(count the number of yarns that comprise each strand and divide as evenly as possible.)

Select the divided half of each of the 4 strand yarns on each end of the splice.

step

With the remaining 4 half-volume single strands on each side of the splice,

perform 3 full tucks. Tape the strands after they have been tucked and cut

them off as done with previous strands.
