Repeat until rib measures 18 centimetres. Cast off loosely in pattern.

Step-12

For side two: Repeat side one starting with a purl row to make a mirror image of this side. Sew two sides together.

Step-13

Fringing – Cut lengths of red yarn approximately 14 centimetres. I wrapped mine around my phone and then cut into two equal bundles. Thread two pieces of yarn and form a knot along the top edge of rib all around the top.

Step-14

Pom poms – Make two pompoms using the pompom maker.

Step-15

Hanging loop– Cast on four stitches in cream. Knit in stocking stitch until knitting reaches your preferred length. Put two stitches on spare needle or holder. Continue in stocking st to create a 'ribbon' to hold pompoms; I would suggest about 10 to 15 centimetres. Cast off. Repeat on remaining stitches to match. Cast off. Attach the pompoms to the ends. Sew wide end to top of rib, loop the band to create hanging loop and secure to the rib.
