in DROPS Nepal

MEASUREMENTS:
Large: approx. height 39 cm
Small: approx. height 32 cm

DROPS NEPAL from Garnstudio:
50 g colour no 2923, goldenrod
50 g colour no 2920, orange
50 g colour no 3620, red
50 g colour no 4434m, purple
Some left-over yarn in black.
DROPS CROCHET HOOK SIZE 4 mm - or size needed to get
18 dc = width 10 cm.

MAGIC CIRCLE:
When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique
to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch-ring):
Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the
index finger to make a loop.
Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the
thread over left index finger.
Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull thread
through loop, work 1 ch, then work dc around the loop.
When the desired no of dc have been reached, pull the yarn
end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end at the back.
Continue to work in the round in a circle.

WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE:


After last dc on the round, continue to next round with 1 dc
in next dc (= first dc from previous round). NOTE: Insert a
marker at the beg of round between last dc and first dc on
the round, move the marker upwards.

INCREASE TIP:
Inc 1 dc by working 2 dc in 1 dc.

DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 dc by working 2 dc tog as follows: * Insert hook in
next dc, get thread *, repeat from *-* one more time, make a
YO and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook.

COLOUR CHANGE:
To get a nice colour change work last dc on round as
follows: Insert hook in last dc, get thread, make a YO with
the new colour and pull it through all sts on hook. Continue
on to next round with the new colour.
