@afc610 for this i would leave the strings loose in the middle. i know there is a way to knot it so there aren’t loose strings but since there are just two strings in the middle, i would just leave the strings loose. in case you were wondering the other way would be doing the shaped ends technique with the loose strings in the middle. i actually haven’t tried it before so i’m unable to give you a detailed explanation. i hope that helps and i’m sorry if it wasn’t the answer you were looking for! 🙂
