Continue while twisting. The method is similar to braiding. When braiding, only use half of the warp and leave half to connect adjacent knots when braiding.

Notes
The corn husks should be moist and even, not too dry or too wet.
Knitting must be tight and twisting must be firm.
In addition to corn husks, we can expand the application and use other flexible materials (such as old clothes at home, cut into thin strips) to make cushions.
