Making up

With RS facing, align foundation edge

Pot Cosy. Join CC1 with sl st to any

foundation ch of Trim. With Trim on top

of Pot Cosy and working through both

thicknesses (foundation ch of Trim and

front loop only of last rnd of Pot Cosy),

work 1 rnd of sl st evenly around. Join

with sl st to first sl st. Fasten off. Sl st

will form ridge on RS.

strands, fold in half and knot into Fringe in

first ch 3 sp across bottom edge of Trim.

Rep for each ch 3 sp across bottom edge

of Trim.

Each Fringe has 8 strands. Divide each

fringe into 2 groups of 4 strands. Taking

group of 4 strands from first fringe and

group of 4 strands from next fringe, wrap

one strand of CC1 around these 8 strands

4 times 2.5cm down from each fringe

knot so that the wrapped yarn is centred.

Fasten securely. Rep for each knotted

fringe around as shown in photo. Trim

Fringe evenly. Un-ply each strand of rem
