Leave short side outermost main
String all mains except for outer short side main

Short side cross

Weave and tension 1st cross using short side, use starting clamp outside frame to secure it

Early Box

Using the long side, weave and tension the 2nd from bottom cross, then short side main. If total number of crosses is odd, weave the bottom cross opposite the top cross. If total number of crosses is even, weave the bottom cross the same as the top cross.

Re-tension short side, remove starting clamp, tie-off.

Weave crosses

Continue weaving the crosses (starting at 2nd) with long side until complete. Tie-off long side.
