loop around your pinky. Twist it one half turn and loop it around your ring finger.

half loop and loop it around your middle finger. Another half twist and then around your
index finger.

second loop.

bottom loop from from your pinky, Lift it over the top loop and stretch it over to the
back of your pinky.

your the loops on the other three fingers. Continue weaving alternating red and white

rows of all blue and 17 more rows of red and white. If you need to take a break, slide a
pencil or pen through the working loops as you remove them from your fingers.

the ends together, holding the loops. Interweave the end loops through the beginning
loops.

using a double knot. Sew three stars on the blue sections using a needle and thread.
