• Repeat with the second group of 4 strands, twisting it tightly in the same direction.
• While keeping tension, bring the two twisted groups together, holding them at both ends. Release the tension from the middle and let the two groups twist around each other in the opposite direction.
• Once fully coiled into a cord, tie a knot at the other end to secure the twist. Trim any excess tails.
