4. 4

   Using GREY:

   Draw up grey yarn through the lime loop left on hook. Turn hourglass on it's side and begin working evenly into the row sides

   greyR1: sk first row, 9 sc (four down one side, one at the thinnest point of the hourglass and four up the other side), sk last row, ch 1

   greyR2: sk first st, sc, dc, htr, tr, htr, dc, sc, sk last st, sl st into that first grey connecting st

   Repeat these two rows on the other side of the hourglass, stretching it to take a circular shape as you go

5. 5

   Using BLACK:

   Attach black anywhere on the circumference and sc evenly around.

   Highlight hourglass by using needle and yarn to outline the hourglass with black yarn.

6. 6

   Add 4 sequins at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock with sewing thread and needle.

7. 7

   Risers (make 2 in black)

   Magic Circle (6)
   Rnd 1: 2 sc in ea st (12)
   Rnd 2: *2 sc in next st, sc* around (18)
   F.O. and leave long tail of yarn

8. 8

   Whip stitch risers together and secure to the middle of watch band. With a piece of lime yarn, thread the omnitrix face through the center of the hourglass, down through the risers and watch band and gently secure on the underside of band. The tension on this shouldn't be too tight so the face can be turned for "realistic" play :)

9. 9

   Adding Bead & Large Button:

   Once the face is attached, sew the bead onto the band just under the edge of the omnitrix (at 6 o'clock). When the watch is on a wrist, it will show.

   Add the large black button to the side of watch opposite the button hole. The yarn will stretch a bit, so make it nice and snug to start with.
