Step 3:  Position three metal pegs on your jig as shown at right.  Place the 90 degree bend in your wire against the middle peg in the pattern. 

Step 4:  Using the thumb from your non-dominant hand press and hold the wire in position, while with your dominant hand you wrap the wire around one of the pegs in this pattern.

Step 5:  Reposition your thumb so that you can hold the wire in place while you wrap the wire around the remaining peg in this pattern.  When completed your wire should appear as shown at right.

Step 6:  Remove the wire from your jig.  One at a time, grasp one of the loops in your wire with your bent chain nose pliers and rotate it 90 degrees as shown at left.  After completing this for the first loop, then perform the same step on the second loop.  When completed your wire should appear as shown above-left.

Step 7:  Now we need to grasp each loop, in turn with your bent chain nose pliers, near the beginning of the loop, and bend the wire at that point 45 degrees.  Do this for both loops.  When done correctly, you can replace the wire on your jig as shown at right.  Please note that two of the pegs in this pattern have been moved. 

Step 8:  Grasp each loop in turn with your bent chain nose pliers and bend the wire 45 degrees as shown at left.  Visually, the opposite sides of the wire in the figure formed should be parallel to one another.
