smile will fill you with immense joy.

How to string beads onto yarn
You will need:

♥ a small-eyed sewing needle of a size that will easily fit through your beads
♥ a small piece of sewing thread
♥ 5 mm plastic beads
Take your sewing thread and thread the needle; take the two ends of the thread and tie a knot. Open the 2
threads and roll the knot half way up towards the needle. String the beads onto the thread (Picture 1); open the
thread, take the end of your yarn and pull it through the loop. (Picture 2); Now, simply slide the bead down
from the sewing thread to the yarn. (Picture 3)

Please note: After we finish the muzzle, we will cut out the yarn and make an invisible join. Although we’ll work the next
row with the same color, the muzzle will look more pointed and nicer if we make it as a separate part. You certainly can
continue the next row without cutting the yarn, but in that case, the muzzle will be flatter.

How to join squares
● When you finish all 42 squares needed for the blanket, it’s time to join them together. We’re going to do this
with single crochet. That’s very easy.
● We will first join together all the horizontal rows, and then all the vertical rows.
● We will join alternately squares A and squares B.
● Please note: In this demonstration I used only 4 granny squares to show you how to join the squares.

These are our 4 squares horizontally joined together. (Picture 2) Continue joining horizontal rows in the same way you
joined the first two rows. To finish joining all 7 horizontal rows you need to repeat this procedure 5 more times.
We will join the vertical rows in the same way we joined the horizontal rows. We’ll work from right to left. Join the first

Continue joining the squares until you join together all of your vertical rows.
How to make border
Making the border for this blanket is very easy. The border contains the same elements as the teddy bear granny
square, and it has only 4 simple rows. We will basically make one row of dc (2 dc in each space between group of 2 dc of
the previous row), then we will make one row of hdc in each space between the group of 2 dc, with ch-2 between each
hdc, then one row of popcorns (4hdc popcorn) in each ch-2 space, with ch-3 between each popcorn, and lastly, one row
of 2 dc in every ch-3 space of the previous row. So, let’s get started!
