The first 3 strands closest to the inside of the eye are now routed from the entry point at Mark 2 to the
exit points on the opposite side of the rope. Each strand is routed separately, entering at the entry point
and exiting at its own exit point. Do not pull the strands up tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.

At Mark 2, make a mark at the intersection of an S and a
Z strand. This will be the entry point for all 6 strands and
the tail when it is buried. The entry point should be on the
side of the rope facing the opposite leg of the eye.
From the entry point, count 2 picks down the rope and
mark 6 strands around the circumference of the rope.
There will be 3 S strands and 3 Z strands marked. At
each intersection of an S and a Z strand, mark an exit
point. There will be 6 exit points marked.

The 3 remaining strands are now routed from the entry point
at Mark 2 to the exit point. Each strand is routed separately,
entering at the entry point and exiting at its own exit point. Do
not pull the strands up tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.
With all 6 strands routed, pull each
of the 6 routed strands to remove
any slack, and make sure the rope
is smooth and tight at the entry point.
