DIY Pattern Instructions
Rectangle Construction:
Start by chaining 16 (21) with a 4mm hook, leaving a long tail for later. Work rows of slip stitches in the back loops to create a textured rectangle. For a 2.5″ ornament, make a 6″ x 3″ rectangle; for a 3″ ornament, an 8″ x 4″ rectangle.
Assembly:
Fold your rectangle in half to form a tube, then join the sides with slip stitches, working through both layers. Leave a long tail for closing the top.
