Frog position behind-the-back cross

From Silkworms

frog position behind-the-back cross:

(double crochet)

this is more a useful intermediate position than a move of its own; although it does make a good rest position.

split the fabrics, hang between them, straddle and invert, so that legs are behind the fabrics and passing outside to either side of them. bend the knees and bring the feet around in front of the fabrics on either side (1).

put both feet together and insert them between the fabrics, going from front to back; then straighten the legs and turn the feet in, pressing the insteps against the silks. hands are still holding the silks separately in front of the hips. now press the hips forward and bring the silks around either side of the waist to meet behind the back (2).

swap the silks behind the back, and bring the tails back around to the front (final position, shown above).

uses/builds on: invert.
