Tutor's Suggestions
-
Secure the Loop: Begin by leaving a long tail, about 40 cm (16 inches), before starting the first stitch. You will use this tail later to chain and attach the hanging loop.
-
Weave in Ends: As you join the purple yarn, hide the tails by crocheting over them during the first few 3-DC clusters to ensure they stay secure.
-
Moving Position: Pay close attention to how you move the working position at the start of each new round: consistently slip stitch three times to move from the head of the previous 3-DC cluster into the adjacent chain-1 space.
