How To Make
Using your chosen colour yarn and a 4mm hook, ch 31.
Row 1: dc into the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.
Row 2: ch1, dc in each st across.
Repeat row 2 for a further 5 rows.
Fasten off, leaving enough yarn to sew the seams.
Repeat the method above for your desired amount of chain links.
Making Up
Gently press each chain flat with a cool iron. Fold the first chain in half and using a mattress stitch the short ends together to create a loop.
Place your second chain through the first and create a loop in the same way, so that they are linked. Repeat for the rest of your chains until you are happy with the length.
Weave in all ends.
