Sew the spout on using the outside loop of the SL ST round – this gives
a neat effect 🙂

DO NOT TURN, CONTINUE WORKING IN THE ROUND.
SL ST all around. Fasten off and leave tail for sewing.
TIP: leave a sewing tail of approx 20 cm, then after you have sewn on the top part
of the handle – weave the sewing tail through the DC row (see photos) –
when you have reached the bottom, slightly pull the tail and the handle will curl,
shape to your liking. Sew the bottom part.

I have been a crochet designer for more than 10 years. I love to think outside the box and to try and do things a bit differently. I love to learn new techniques and to challenge myself. I firmly believe that crochet should fun and evoke joy and pleasure. Creating and designing is one of my life's passions.
