Add edging if desired. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Drawstring

CH 100-120 (to desired length), then 1 more CH. SC in 2nd CH from hook, and in every CH to end, working on the bump in the back of the CH. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Finishing

Run the drawstring through the eyelets. Run the drawstring through 2 eyelets from the inside first, making sure the ends are even. Then, alternating sides, run through the remaining eyelets. The 2 ends should come out the last pair of eyelets on the front. Knot the ends together.

Alternative Drawstring: Chain 100-120 (to desired length). Fasten off and weave in ends. Insert through eyelets. Use a drawstring clasp instead of knotting ends.

If you're feeling adventurous, run the chain through the clasp, then the eyelets, and back through the clasp, then join the ends of the chain with a slip stitch, and slip stitch in the next 2 stitches for strength. Then fasten off and weave in.

A new year, a new endeavor!

Welcome to Those Yarn Hookers! I created this blog for several reasons. To have a place to post my crochet patterns for the world to see; a place to write my musings, share my favorite memes, and discuss yarning; but most of all, to share my love and passion for crochet! My Mom was an avid crocheter, among other things. She tried to teach me several times while I was growing up, but I never had that “aha!” moment, and could never do more than a chain. A few years ago, my husband was away from home (an out of town trip with friends that I couldn’t attend due to work, I think), and I was feeling extra depressed and missing my mom. Somehow, I had ended up at the Joann website, and was browsing crochet stuff. A few clicks later, I had some yarn, hooks, and a For Dummies (my favorite books for learning anything!) book ordered. A couple of weeks later, we were out for a yarning and coffee date with some friends, and it happened. The “aha!” moment where everything came together.

Now that it has been gifted, I can make this post. This is a compilation of the WIP photos that have been posted to the Facebook page. It was slow going at first. I did decide to make the starting chain with one hook bigger so that the chains would be loose enough to crochet into. With the thread and such tiny hooks, it was hard not making the stitches too tight. I did find early on that when doing DC's in the CH spaces, it was much easier to crochet around the CH space than in the CH stitches. Once I got through the bottom border knots, work picked up, and seemed to go much faster. Unfortunately, at this point, work was stalled by the sudden passing of my father, and a whirlwind trip to Omaha to spend some time with my brothers while we grieved and put everything in order. (Thankfully, there really wasn't much to do, despite Dad having no end of life planning, and my brothers had it pretty much done by the time I got there.) Once I got home, and recovered fro

Uh oh!

Unfortunately, the husband has to replace the ram in his computer, so the editing of the 1st video is taking longer than anticipated. :-( Hopefully, he'll get his system back up and running properly during the week, so he can resume editing.
