Assembly
 |
1. Cut a 8" piece of thread of the same color. I used white so you can see the string placement. Turn GS2 to wrong side, insert hook around the post of the middle dc on the side on round 3 (see picture). |
 |
2. YO and pull thru. Do this on all 4 sides. |
 |
3. Pull thread ends together tight to bunch up the square. |
 |
4. Tie thread in a knot (doesn't have to be real tight) and pull thru the top (center loop). |
|
5. Do steps 1 to 4 for GS1 only using round 2 instead of round 3 to weave the thread thru. |
 |
6. Pull thread from GS2 thru the top (center loop) of GS1. Tie ends of thread together to form a hanger. |
