NOTE 3: Keep yarn strands to the wrong side of the panel when changing colors.

NOTE 4: Unless otherwise instructed, do not enter the hook into the spaces between the hdc’s; enter the hook into the two strands that form a chain on top of the previous row.

FRINGE

With medium yarn, wrap around any object aprox 3 inches high. I used a small pack of gum. Cut strands of yarn at bottom.

Using strands about 5 inches long, hold 2 lengths of yarn (folded in half) with one hand, insert hook between rows where the two colors meet on the panel. Grab the 2 lengths of yarn with hook, pulling through the space forming a loop large enough to pull the strands though. Tighten slightly to form knot and secure. Repeat about every other space until you reach the color change on the row.

Trim bottom of fringe as needed for about 2 inch length tassels.

ATTACH PANELS

With right sides together, wrong side facing you, seam panels with yarn needle using whip st. Insert needle under two strands of ea panel. Seam for  sides then turn right side out to insert pillow. Seam the remaining side with the whip st. Tie off yarn.
