To Make Up
Firstly, weave in all loose ends into the back of the work using a tapestry needle.
Gently steam all pieces.
Pin together the wrong sides, overlapping the 2 back pieces.
Rather than being sewn the pieces are crocheted together. Using the 3.5mm crochet hook and 1 strand of yarn, begin with a slip knot on your hook and work with the two (or three) pieces of knitting placed wrong sides together. Insert the hook up through the layers of fabric and and through the loop on the crochet hook then 1DC and repeat. work all the way round the edges and work into one stitch 3 times at each corner. once finished work a second round of crochet and fasten off. Steam all edges and attack buttons.
I hope you all enjoy this challenge and I am looking forward to seeing the results.
