It looks great in asolid—think work, church and dinner dates—but you’ve just gotta do one with some kookyvariegated yarn too. Here’s how:1. Make a slip knot with the yarn of yourchoice—we vote variegated.2. Chain twenty-five.3. Work twenty-five single crochet stitches,and turn your work. To begin the next row,hook through the top loop of the last fullstitch. Yarn over and pull the yarn throughboth loops, leaving one loop on the hook.4. Repeat steps two and three until you’vemade six complete rows.5. Tie off, and weave-in the tails.6. With a needle and coordinating embroiderythread, stitch the button to one end ofthe cuff. And the yarn is loose enough thatyou won’t even need a buttonhole.PERFECTFOR GIFTS,PARTY ACTIVITIESAND USING UPLEFTOVER YARN!4 Hobby Lobby Product Inspirations
