Best method for this part creation?

I'm having difficulty creating this round part of a stirrup.I'vetried to using a 3D sweep, but the corners looped into a knot.Ialso tried using a loft, which came close, but it looks likethepart is twisted. Anyone have a suggestion on some steps I coulduseto create this part? See posted pics forstirrupshape.Thanks,--AlexSolidworksParts And Features
