Choose your colors of raffia and cut respectively :
Take the pink raffia and make a knot on the 3rd bar of the loop.
Insert the needle at the end of the thread.
Start by weaving the tip of the moon by making an "over and under". The knot that sticks out will be hidden by the weave. Continue like this until the 3rd bar
Finish with a simple knot around the bar of the loop. Trim the excess.
Take over with the golden thread. Tie a knot on the 3rd bar
Repeat the weaving step "over and under" for the golden thread until you fill a quarter of the loop.
Then make a knot on the 2nd bar, cut the surplus.
Repeat this step with the brown raffia. Tie a knot on the second bar, weave "over and under" and then finish the weaving with a knot before cutting off the excess.
Cut off any small pieces of thread that are sticking out of your loop.
You just have to repeat these steps for the second loop.
Version 2 - Braiding
Cut 75 cm of brown and pink raffia and gold thread.
Gather the 3 threads and make a knot on the tip of the loop.
Then start braiding with these three threads.
Continue to make the braid until the end.
Add the needle to the end of the braid
Start weaving the top underneath all the way through the loop. Tie a knot at the end and cut off the excess.
Remember to tie it tightly!
To finish, use the flat tongs to flatten the knots
And now the second version is done!
