You now have a piece of knitted cloth that has argyle -plain-argyle
inside
out.
secure all the loose ends. if you are tying the strands make
sure they are
very secure!! ( experience speaking!)
Now you are going to fold the whole thing concertina wise / \ /
So the you have an argyle sandwich! sew open ends so you now
have a pad.
Lightly press with steam iron and a damp cloth over pad. You
could add a
few drops of cinnamon oil to the PH so when it gets warm you
will have
that wonderful holiday scent.
All thats left now is to attatch a twisted , or crocheted cord
or ribbon!
I hope this is clear! Happy Holidays to everyone!
