[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Cane holder

[Becky Frankeberger]

Sorry I am so late with the answer dear Tracy. You flatten your piece and
center I usually figure three stitches on each side I won't use, then mark.
Use a smaller needle size or hook ssize in my case and go back and forth for
two inches. You do not want the yarn or this part stretchy as the cane has
weight and will stretch the yarn anyway. So go like I said back and forth
for two inches then cut a long string after you bind off. Thread and sew the
two inch piece to the back of your cane holder. I suggest securing the two
inch piece to the body of the cane holder with a safety pin or like. It is
tricky but doable. Hide the yarn in the loop and cut off the excess yarn. 

Warmly,
Becky

Hi Becky.
How do you create your belt loop?
