  Step 6

  Cut a length of crochet cotton. Knot the end and pull through a hole in the card so the knot sits underneith.

  Bring the needle round the back of the card and back into the same hole, so that the thread loops around the edge of the card.

  Move the needle to the next hole along and pull the thread through the card from front to back.

  To crochet the scallop shape, crochet a single crochet (sc), followed by as many double crochets that you need so that the scallop folds round the corner.Finish the scallop with a single crochet.

  Repeat the scallop shape in the next little pocket of thread. The small scallops are made up of 5 double crochets with a single crochet at each end.

• 

  Step 18

  Repeat until the whole edge of the card is covered. When you get back the beginning, sew in the end, so that the crochet is secure.

  Finished! Give away to a friend in a homecard envelope, or keep for yourself.
