Round 6 – With gold, dc in every dc around – join to first dc, fasten off.
CUP HANDLE
For the handle, you’re going to do a row of ch in the cup colour, then change to gold to do a row of dc.
Using 3mm hook and cup colour, make 9ch, join in gold THEN make the last ch, so you have gold on your hook ready for the next row.
Next Row - miss first ch, 1dc in next 4 ch, then 2dc in each of the next 5ch. Fasten off
This makes the curve for the handle.
Sew the handle to the cup, then sew the cup to the saucer around the base and attach a gold cord to hang.
All done.
