Tips

Fold one strand in half, insert the hook into a stitch of the last round of the Straw, pull the fold through, then pull both ends through the fold. Repeat in every stitch round the edge (twice in each stitch), then trim the fringe le
- Thread a length of colour A through the top of the Handle and tie into a hanging loop.
