Description

This string figure represents a frog. As the string figure-maker tightens and loosens the string between his/her thumbs and the index fingers, he/she keeps saying: pos pos, pos… ‘croak croak, croak…’ as ‘the frog’ jumps until the loops fall down, which is when the frog ‘disappears’ and the string figure is finished.
