STEP 5

You must now compress your cane by first rolling on all sides. You can lengthen it by doing a cane reduction (the pattern will be smaller) for that you have to hold the cane vertically, one hand will hold it with the other you will squeeze the opposite sides by stretching the cane towards the above. Repeat this phase by swiveling your cane a quarter of a turn. Flip the cane (reverse up and down) and do the same for that side.
