1. Loop a piece of yarn around the hook, behind the latch.     2. Push the hook down through one square and up the one immediately above until the latch is through. Then pull the hook back slightly, just far enough until the latch begins to close as in illustration 2.     3. Bring the two ends of yarn across into the eye of the hook.   4. Pull the hook back slowly through the loop and as you do the latch closes and grabs the yarn. When this happens release the two ends of yarn and continue to pull the hook out.    5. Keeping the two ends even, tighten the knot by gently pulling

Lay the canvas on a table, stencilled side up, with the selvedges to your left and right. You will note that there are 5 or more extra rows of canvas beyond the end of the design. Starting with one end fold these extra rows over (not under) as shown in the illustration to the right. To prevent unravelling of canvas work these 5 or more extra rows through the double thickness following the design underneath. When nearing completion of the other end also fold over the extra rows of the design and work through the double thickness. The ends of your rectangular rug are now securely locked in and no binding is required

1. Cut the fringing yarn into 12 inch lengths.     2. Using a latch hook knot two 12 inch lengths into each hole of the last row of the completed rug to form a row of tassels.     3. When this has been done tie the tassels in the following order:- Start from the left hand end of the row and tie the first and third tassel together using an overhand knot, figure F3, tighten the knot about 1 inch from the end of the rug. Next take the second and fifth tassels and knot these together in the same way. Continue in this manner knotting the fourth and seventh, sixth and ninth and so on until the row is complete.   4. Trim to length and repeat at other end.
