Title: Finishing Touches
Embroidery Key:
Use thread of color 1 to outline a triangle with a bottom vertex in row 11, capturing 4 rows up. Secure the thread on the reverse side.
Use thread of color 2 to add 3 horizontal stitches at the top of the outline, placing the needle one row lower than the edge of the outline. Secure on the reverse side.
Continuing: Continue crocheting the body.
Row 18: (SBN, U)*8 times = 16
Row 19: 8 U = 8
Row 20: 4 U = 4
Close the opening and hide the tail end of the thread.
