Transition into an "A" by resting your thumb on the side of your fist, then curve your fingers into a "C". Next, form a "K" with your index and middle fingers up, followed by an "S" with your thumb across your fist. Finish by making an "O" shape, and finally an "N" by tucking your thumb under your first two fingers.
