Materials:
Thread #20 in 2 colors
Chenille strand (pipe cleaner)
Shuttle and Ball

Special Abbreviation:
IP : Inverted Picot
The Inverted Picot is made by making 3 1st half stitch, picot, 3 2nd half stitch. Pull the picot down so it's in position.

Instructions:
Take the chenille and make a circle. Twist both ends together. Having this join in the middle, take a pen or pencil and place it inside the chenille and twist. Place the pen under this twist and twist again. This will make a circle on the chenille. Repeat until all the chenille is twisted.
