NOTE: Basic crochet knowledge is needed for this project.
Preparing the netting:
Keep the netting folder in the layers like it came off the bolt*. From one end, measure 5 in. and fold over. Continue to roll over in 5 in. sections until you have the whole length of netting in a roll. Align and keep the folded edge of the netting even. Place a few clothespins on the folded and selvage ends of netting.
Trim off the folded edge, cutting as close to the edge as possible. Measure and cut the rolled netting into 2 in. strips. Unfold the netting strips and join them into one long length by tying the ends together.
*Cutting the net on the fold of the bolt prevents it from tearing.
Crocheting:
Row 1: Loosely Chain 4. Join in the first Chain to make a ring.
Chain 3 and Double Crochet in the ring 13 more stitches (total 14 stitches). Slip stitch to join.
Row 2: Chain 3 and make 1 Double Crochet in the same stitch.
Double Crochet 2 in each of the remaining stitches (total 28 stitches).
Slip stitch to join.
Row 3: Chain 3, Double Crochet 1 in the next stitch and the remaining stitches (total 28 stitches).
Slip stitch to join.
Row 4: Chain 3, skip 1 stitch and Double Crochet 1 in every other stitch (total 14 stitches). Slip stitch to join.
NOTE: Will start to curl. Reverse so outside shows the nice stitching.
Row 5: Chain 3 and repeat Row 4. Join and tie into scrubby to hide ends.
