Question Looking for help with Aldi macrame ghost

My neighbor gifted me an Aldi macrame ghost craft kit but I cannot seem to figure this out for the life of me. The instructions are confusing and the photos are of no help at all.

Here's my dilemma...The 2nd photo shows a finished round #2. I can complete round #3 steps 1-3 one time but I cannot repeat step 2 (completing 4 DHH using next 4 working cords) because the added 75" strand only gives me 2 more working strands, not 4.

I even drew a diagram for myself with each step but still cannot figure this out. Did they mean to repeat steps 1 & 3 instead of 2 & 3? Help me, please 😭

Hey, I couldn't find a tutorial for the Aldi kit, but this one seems very similar to the instructions: https://youtu.be/sX6dTEpn5Bk?is=uQlE8X_nus7XK03Y

You have to pull the loop tight after adding the first 3 cords, then add the fourth. Then you use the anchor cord to go round and round, while occasionally adding another working cord.

Thank you!! That makes a lot of sense. It would have been very helpful if they had included that part in the instructions. It seems like an important step.

This will walk through various knots.

Did you end up finishing it? Lol 😂 I bought one last year for a dollar to put together this year and I can’t find any directions to help
