  • Start by making a slip knot and adding the loop on the hook.
  • Work 60 foundational chain stitches.
  • Row 1. SC in the back bump of the second ST from the Hook and in each back bump of the STs across. Turn (59)

  • Finishing. When done, weave in the yarn ends and cut off the excess yarn.
  • Assembling. There are two ways of assembling.
  • Using a 16’inch yarn piece. Thread one end of the yarn through the yarn needle.
  • Make 3 folds the length of the strip about 2 ½ inches each fold.
  • Insert the yarn needle through the center and through all the layers of the folds out through the bottom. Make sure not to pull the yarn out of the top.
  • Next move the yarn needle over a stitch and run it back up through the folds. Remove the yarn needle.
  • Bring the ends of the yarn together and tie a knot to secure a loop near the top fold. Tip. Keep loose so the folds can relax a little, so they show better.
  • Lastly, create a loop for hanging by tying a knot on the top of the yarn ends. Snip off any excess.
  • Using a 16’inch yarn piece. Thread one end of the yarn through the yarn needle. Add a bead. Bring the other end of the yarn piece through the yarn needle leaving the bead to hang in the middle.
  • Make 3 folds the length of the strip about 2 ½ inches each fold.
  • Insert the yarn needle through the center and after the first fold, insert another bead onto the yarn needle. Continue to the next folds and add another bead. End with a bead on the top.
  • To secure the bead on the top, back through a few loops under the bead. Again, keep things a little so the folds can relax a little, so they show better.
  • Lastly, create a loop for hanging by tying a knot on the top of the yarn ends. Snip off any excess.
