Open the lobster claw clamp at the end of the chain and insert under both loops of a stitch at one end of the zipper. Repeat at the other end.
Tips
- I fill the bag with fur by placing single crochet stitches with the eyelash yarn. You could also place slip stitches to save some yarn.
- It’s important to work the fury stitches really loose to avoid the open-loop slipping from your hook. If you suspect you might have slept a loop better unravel to make sure, before moving on. It will impossible to trace you slipped loop once you move away from that stitch.
- Always make sure that you didn’t slip a stitch before brushing. The brush will pick up that slipped loop and I will unravel big parts of your round leaving you with one giant loop.
With no more delay, I will let you to grab your gear, watch the video and create an amazing Crochet Fur Bag!
