Ornaments
- Add ornaments where ever you’d like using your choice of color.
- To make the ornaments, we will be doung french knots.
- Bring your yarn through to where ever you’d like an ornament.
- In a loop derectly next to where you pulled up your yarn, insert your hook, but do not pull it all the way through.
- Wrap the yarn between your hook and where you initially pulled through around the hook where it had already gone through the loops 2 times.
- While holding the yarn you wrapped around the hook, pul the hook and the remaining yarn through the loop and the wrapped yarn.
- Bring yarn back through a nearby stitch to complete the knot. Repeat for all ornaments.
