15. 15

    Step 15

    
    Insert the right string through the bottom of the beads. This is the same procedure used for every row (besides the legs). The beads are on one string and the second string is inserted through them from the side of the end of the string they are on.

    Step 16

    
    Tighten to move the beads up under the last row.

18. 18

    Step 18

    
    Now repeat steps 10 to 13 to make the bottom legs

    Step 19

    
    Add a row of 2 green beads. Then add a row of 1 green bead. Then 4 more rows in the order of yellow, then green, then yellow, then green. Now all you have to do is tie a double knot and cut off the excess string.
