SR, 4-4/4-4, Ch 4-4, R, 4+4+4-4.Work all round as in previous round. Allow 2 picots on 2 chains to be large enough to pick up a bead in the next round.

SR 4-4/4+4, ( make all side picots a little longer in this round) chain 4-4, R, 4+4+4-4 and pick up a bead while joining in the ring and on the next ring as well. Continue this round until two rings remain unworked. Place the 4cm ball into the work and finish the round. This and the next row are difficult but not impossible.

Work SR 4-4/4-4, Ch 4-4, R 4+4+4-4 as before. Work a chain all round 2-2. Take a thread through these last chain picots and pull to gather it up well on the base.

Scarf using Perle 12 in two colours of thread and 4 shuttles with continuous thread on each pair.

Work a SR with first pair 6/6 and before closing push the second pair through the ring. Work the second SR 6/6 with contrast colour and as before push the shuttles through the ring before closing it. Repeat this for 9-10 inches. Make a small tassel at each end by adding threads to the end rings.
