Notes:

1)     The initial “Chulya” is made by wrapping one white strand and one blue strand and tucking in the ends to form a knot.  The white is wrapped once first and then the blue twice.

2)     The 11 middle “Chulyot” are made by taking one blue strand from the total of eight strands and wrapping it around the remaining seven strands three times, and tucking the end into the wraps to form a knot.  This “wrapping” strand is designated “Shamash” and is used for all subsequent chulyot (though it is not halachically imperative that the same Shamash be used).

3)     The final “Chulya” is made by wrapping one white strand and one blue strand and tucking in the ends to form a knot.  The blue is wrapped twice first and then the white once.
