Assembling game board:
We are going to be folding our game board in half and sc in together; first we need to put the game board lines on the front of the game board. Once this is done, fold the game board in half. At the half way point, put st markers on either side. The front of the game board should have a button hole. We now need 2 vertical lines between rows 10 to 11 & 20 to 21, and 2 horizontal lines between rows 10 to 11 & 20 to 21, using white yarn and a yarn needle st your lines using back st. Next, we need to add a button whist your game board is still in half. Make sure the front and back pieces are lined up properly. Then st your button onto the inside of the back piece directly under the button hole. Now, because we didn't fasten off when we crocheted our game board, insert your hook where we left off through the front and back pieces and sc down left side, 3 sc into bottom left corner, sc across bottom, 3 sc in bottom right corner, sc up right side leaving top of game board open. Then fasten off. Weave in all of the ends, using yarn needle.
