Finishing
Seam the sides, leaving a 1.5cm opening at the bottom of the left side before the belt tie. With a 3mm crochet hook, make a chain of about 30 chs, dc (US sc) across the bottom of the lower body, then chain a further 30 chs Work 1 row of dc (US sc) then fasten off. 1. The chain: leaving a tail of about 1ocm, make a knot and, without pulling tight, bring the yarn through the loop (= 1 chain). Repeat until you have the required number of chains, taking care not to pull too tight and keeping the chains loose.
2. Double crochet (Us: Single crochet): Put the hook into the st, wrap the yarn round the hook and draw a loop through the st ; then wrap the yarn round the hook again, draw a loop through both of the sts on the hook. At the end of each row, make 1 chain to turn.
