Step 1: Forming the starting sling
To begin with, you need an initial loop. To do this, form a small "pretzel" from the end of the raffia yarn. Insert the crochet hook through this loop, pick up the thread and pull it through to form the first stitch.
Step 2: Crochet chain stitches
Now crochet 15 chain stitches. These are the basic stitches that form the basis of your napkin ring. When you are finished, join the first and last stitches with a slip stitch to create a circle.
Step 3: Sl stitches for the ring
Crochet four rounds of slip stitches. The crochet hook is inserted into the next stitch and the loop pulled out is pulled through the loop on the crochet hook. This technique ensures a firm, clean result. The best way to hide the beginning and end of from raffia is to pull it through between the stitches using a 3.0 crochet hook.
