Hanging Loops and Finishing

**K2

***Slide sts off right hand needle with right side facing onto left needle and draw thread towards start of the row.***

Repeat *** to *** 8 times.

To make the loop join to the first **2 sts at the start of loop by picking up each stitch and knit tog with stitch on the needle, then cast off st so you have 1 st left.

Draw thread through last st leaving a long enough thread to sew a close up seam on the side of the ball to halfway.

Feed a handful of fairyfloss to fill the ball.

Change the thread colour to match and continue the seam until closed.

Darn in threads to neaten.

Please use only the yarn specified. Another yarn is likely to yield different results. Quantities are approximate as knitting styles may vary between knitters. Check the ball bands to ensure all yarn is from the same dye lot.
