BASIC DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Remove cross bar from bottom ofhairpin lace loom. Loom is held with roundend up (or remaining bar up if adjustableloom). Form a slip loop ½ the width of loom,place left prong through loop (illustration #1),replace cross bar.

Step 2: Pass yarn around right side of loomand across back ([illustration #2]), insertcrochet hook in loop and pull until knot is atcenter, pick up yarn and pull through loop(illustration #3), remove hook from loop.

Step 3: Insert hook in dropped loop fromback (illustration #4) turn loom towardyou from right to left, passing yarn aroundback of loom, chain 1 (illustration #5) scin front loop to left of center sts, (illustration #6)drop loop from hook.

(Note: If easier for you, do not drop hookfrom loop before turning, but pass shank ofcrochet hook through to back of loom andthen turn and proceed as in step 3 after turn.)

KEEPING TWIST: To keep twist in loops,insert crochet hook from back to front inloops, then follow directions given.

WORKING LOOPS STRAIGHT: Insertcrochet hook from front to back in loops,then follow directions given.

PREVENTING SLANT:

When joining strips they sometimes have atendency to ride uphill or to one side. Wetherefore suggest the following method ofjoining. Alternating from strip to strip, withstarting end always on the right, insert hookin 2 right loops of 1st strip and pull through1st 2 left loops of 2nd strip, then 2 loops on1st strip, etc. until all loops are joined. Fastenoff.

Insert crochet hook in 2 left loops of 3rdstrip, pull 2 right loops of 2nd strip through,etc.

Insert hook in 2 right loops of 3rd strip, pullthrough 2 left loops of 4th strip, then 2 loopsof 3rd strip, etc.

Insert hook in 2 left loops of 5th strip, pullthrough 2 right loops of 4th strip, then 2loops of 5th strip. Finish all last loops bypulling remaining length at center of stripthrough last loop, bring end back to centerand work back through several sts at center.Conceal all ends.

COUNTING LOOPS: There must alwaysbe same number of loops on EACH side ofloom. When a large number of loops are requireduse a SUSAN BATES® marker tomark the 50th or the 100th loop on eachside, then count from marker. This will be atime saver.

FULL LOOM: Remove cross bar, slip allbut 3 or 4 loops off loom. Replace bar androll loops up; secure with SUSAN BATES®4½ inch stitch holder to back of work topre
