- Others: Scissors for clipping

Steps to Create
1. Begin with the Base Chain
- Start with a slip knot.
- Using the 9mm hook, chain 130 for the base.
- Tip: Take your time with this initial chain as it sets the tension for the whole project.
2. Single Crochet Rows
- Work single crochet for seven rows:
- Insert hook, pull through a loop, yarn over, and pull through two loops.
- At the end of each row: Chain one, turn, and begin the next row.
- Troubleshooting: Ensure you perform the chain one and start in the second space to maintain a straight edge.\
3. Color and Stitch Change
- Switching colors by laying the new yarn over and pulling through without chaining first.
- Begin with one single crochet, followed by back post single crochets:
- Push yarn out of the way, and insert the hook from behind around the post.
- Technique: Use a ‘scooping’ action to pull through and complete the single crochet.
- Repeat this stitch for six rows:
- Single crochet in between each back post row for added texture.
- Single crochet in between each back post row for added texture.
4. Working Rows Behind
- On every back post single crochet row, work into the single crochet spaces behind the posts.
- Remember: A single crochet at the beginning and end of each row helps maintain a straight edge.
5. Weaving in Ends
- Alternative method: Attach a new yarn in the corner and line the ends along the edge, single crochet over them.
6. Adding Fringe
- Downsize to a 5.5mm hook for the border and fringe.
- Chain 10 for each fringe section, returning with a slip stitch into the starting stitch.
- Customization: Adjust the fringe length as desired, typically 10 chains long.
