EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.7.

1 STRAND BECOMES 3 STRANDS:
This technique explains how to make 3 strands from 1 strand.
Follow points 1-4:
1. Make a single loop (as if you were starting your project), approx. 2-3 cm long.
2. Pull the strand from the ball through the loop so the new strand makes a new loop, pull this loop to 50 cm.
3. Lay the 50 cm loop along the strand so that 1 strand becomes 3 strands.
4. Work with these 3 strands until there is 2 cm left of the loop.
Repeat points 2 to 4.
