Step 2

Pass the thread through the 1st R next to the knot. String 7x R. Count off 7x R on the base and pass the thread through the 8th bead. String 7x R again. Count off 7x R on the base and pass the thread through the 8th R. String 7x R once again. Pass the thread through the 1st R next to the knot once again. Pass the thread through the first 4 R in the curve. Tighten.

Step 3

String 7x R. Pass the thread through 1 central R next to the next curve. String 7x R. Pass the thread through 1 central R in the next curve. String 7x R. Pass the thread through 1 central R in the 1st curve. This will create another row of curves. Pass the thread through the first 4 R in the following curve. Tighten.

Step 4

Keep repeating Step 3 until you have 58 rows of curves with the base as row 59. Pull the shorter ends of the thread by the knots into several R and cut them off.

Step 5

Assembly. Finish the row of curves when the end of the thread that has been threaded into the eye of the needle reduces to approximately 20 cm. Sew the end of the thread in between the R in the direction of the previous curves. Prepare a new thread. Use the central R in the outer row. String 7x R between them. Tie off the thread. Continue stringing the rows of curves.

Step 6

Thread 26x PB onto a doubled piece of Opelon. Cut off about 15 cm of thread. String it into the eye of the needle. Tie off the ends. This will create a thread loop. String about 50 cm of Opelon into it. Fold it in half. You can now string the PB.

Step 7

Slowly and carefully pull the Opelon with the PB into the created spaghetti tube. Insert the needle into the tube, thread it through several of the holes in the net that are nearest to the point of the needle. Press the tube lengthwise and flex it. Pull it over the PB and spread it out. Insert the needle into the tube again through the threaded hole. Pass the thread through another hole in the tube a short way off. Pull the tube over the PB. Continue in this fashion until the PB reach the end of the tube. Cut the thread loop. Thread one end of the Opelon through a loop of Opelon on the opposite side of the PB. Tie off the ends of the Opelon with three knots. Try to hide the knot in the hole of a PB. Pull 1 PB over the knot. Cut off any excess Opelon.

Step 8

Connect the base and the 59th row. Use the central R in the curves. String 6 x 3 R between them. Sew in the thread.
