Then, draw the thread from your left hand and hold it with your index finger and middle finger. As shown in the figure below, the right hand picks up one end of the rope and inserts it in the position of the thumb.

Then, pull the other end with your left hand, insert your right hand into the other end above, and pull your hands up slowly to form (a button with bumps).
