The moves $\Circled{5'}$ and $\Circled{6'}$ are not traditional. They are loop-move equivalents to the Fifth and Sixth moves in Jayne's construction. Jayne comments: “The Fifth and Sixth movements of this figure exhibit what appear to be artificial methods, and yet it is difficult to see how the same results could be produced in any quicker or more simple procedure” (p. 79). To turn this problem on its head, we note that it is difficult to present the given moves using the string figure calculus.
