Step 3: Pass through all the beads strung to reinforce.

Pretend the 4A have created a box with four corners. Exit the top right A of the box.

Step 14: Repeat Steps 4-7 to add three additional boxes to the top left corner of the box you are exiting. (My photo was flipped so the left-hand side is actually shown on the right here).
