Start mains at the HEAD

That's where the centre starting loop goes — the two centre holes at that end. It is not the first cross, and it is not the starting knot.

Two-piece routing is documented in a distributor pattern table, not an approved manufacturer route.

Diagram template {schematic}: hole spacing is illustrative, not a measured grommet map. Hole references keep their original notation (T = head (top), B = throat (bottom)).

In words

  1. Start the mains at the head. Pull the centre loop through the two centre holes at that end and work outward, one side at a time.
  2. Skip 8T - 8B on the mains. Those holes are for crosses.
  3. Tie the mains off at 7T.
  4. Start the crosses at 8T and weave down.
  5. Finish the crosses at 6T - 7B.
