5, slip stitch in 3rd chain from hook, skip next 3
sts, single crochet in next stitch] around.
Break yarn, secure, and weave in ends.
Twisted Cord
Cut a piece of yarn 3 yards in length. Fold it in
half, and attach the halfway point to a fixed object
(eg. hang it over a hook). Twist the two lengths of
yarn together until they begin to twist back on themselves.
Fold this twisted length of yarn in half -- the two
halves will twist together, and you will have a twisted
cord. Remove the end from the fixed object and knot
the ends together. Thread the cord through the eyelets,
using the photo as a guide. Embellish as desired (Some
examples follow).
