Use yarn to frame a beloved card, book cover or postcard to create a piece of wall art.
Instructions:
1. Start by measuring 1-2cm spaces between holes. Mark the spaces.
2. Hole punch marked areas.
Now it's time to crochet!
Round 1: Depending on hole size, use C/2 hook for smaller holes and size E hook for larger.
Pull yarn through hole, using crochet hook, yo, pull through loop. Insert hook back through same hole and sc.
For holes spaced 1cm between, ch 1; for holes spaced 2cm between, ch 2, sc in next hole. Repeat ch (ch2) + sc until first corner.
If you have positioned the hole in the corner of your picture (see Winnie-the-Pooh book cover), sc 3 sts in one hole. If holes are positioned on either side of the corner (see riding bicycle card), sc 2 sts in each hole and ch 1 in between.
After corners, repeat ch (ch2) + sc pattern.
Sl st into first sc made at the beginning of the round.
Round 2: Sc in each stitch around (in ch sp, sc 1 or 2 according to how many ch done in round 1).
In corner stitches:
3 sc in corner = 2 sc in each st
4 sc + ch sp in corner = 2 sc in ch sp
Sl st into first sc made at the beginning of the round.
Round 3: ch 6, skip 1 (2) st(s), depending on how many ch sts done between sc, sc in next stitch.
For the rest of the round, ch 5, skip 1 (2) st(s), sc in next stitch.
Sl st into first sc made at the beginning of the round.
Fasten off (cut the string a couple inches away, take the end of the string and pull it through the loop) weave in the ends (take a large needle and weave the string through the crochet stitches in second row on the backside).
