What you’ll need
Macrame/cotton Cord – Orange and Brown or Green
5mm crochet hook Large Eyed Needle for weaving in your last end.
Notes
The CH at the start of the round does not count as a stitch.
Blocking is not needed as cord likes to lay flat and holds its’ shape well.
Pattern starts with a Magic circle (also known as the magic ring), but if you really struggle with this then you can chain 4, join to the first chain to create a loop and work your first round of stitches into that loop. The magic circle gives a tighter hole in the center.
Number in brackets is the total number of stitches for that round.
