Turn in one quarter (90¡), join left hands and pull by but do not turn. (A full square thru has been completed.) Variations of square thru may be specified by fractions or by the number of hands, e.g. square thru three quarters is the same as square thru three hands, etc. (b) LEFT SQUARE THRU: Similar to square thru except that it is started with the left hand and hands are alternated accordingly.
