KITS INCLUDE:100% acrylic latch hook yarnLatch hook canvasLatching chart

YOU WILL NEED:Latch hookNeedle and rug threadRug binding

IMPORTANT PATTERN NOTES:This piece is created on an unstamped piece of latch hook canvas.To begin latching, measure in 1" from left edge and 1" up frombottom edge and attach your first piece of yarn. If working ashaped piece, measure up 1" from bottom edge and center designacross width of canvas. Proceed to work across and up accordingto the symbols on the chart provided.

DIRECTIONS:1. Latch hooking is primarily done in rows of horizontally knottedyarn strands. Work across the canvas from left to right. When a row iscompleted, return to the left-hand side and start in the next row upfrom the one just completed. Keep your canvas straight in front ofyou. Do not turn or twist the canvas as you create knots. The canvasshould lie on a flat surface when knotting. Do not fold the canvas.2. Keep all knots facing the same direction. Knots tied in more thanone direction will create an uneven lay to the knotted strands of therug and will noticeably detract from the final design appearance.

3. Each symbol on the chart represents one strand of yarn in aspecific color. Refer to your color key frequently to avoid colordiscrepancies later.4. When the rug is completed, fluff up the knotted strands by running your hand across the rug in the reverse direction the strandsare lying (going against the grain of the yarn strands). Grasping thetwo top edges of the canvas, shake the rug vigorously for a few seconds. Even all ends of knotted strands by pulling slightly on theshorter of the two ends.

FINISHING:Cut away the excess canvas leaving a 1" border around the last rowof knots on all sides of design. Clip off each perpendicular corner½" from the knotted area. Fold the edges under and tack to back oflatch canvas with heavy thread. Cover the folded canvas edges withrug binding. Stitch rug binding around outside edge of rug. Thiswill ensure that rug lies flat. It is recommended that you baste alongthe outside edge of the binding and then make a second line ofstitching inside the initial line of basting (closer to the knottededge). This will give a double supported edge to your rug.

CLEANING:GENTLY HAND WASH OR DRY-CLEAN. Do not bleach. DO NOT MACHINE DRY OR LINE DRY. Dry flat. When dry,fluff strands with your hand and shake vigorously.
