The weaving process is very simple, the sort of repetitive motion that quickly becomes "muscle memory", and you can sit and weave your cord while chatting with friends or watching TV.

Look at the loom, and mentally number the slots.

If the empty slot is "1", then lift "4" out of its slot, and place it in "1".

Renumber from the new empty slot, and carry on.

That's it.

Make sure you keep working in the same direction (turnwise or widdershins), otherwise the pattern in your cord will be uneven (although you could, if you want, change direction at regular intervals to add a zig-zag to your helix).
