Round 3 – *2sc, sc*. Repeat from * to * around. (18sc)

Round 4 – *2sc, sc in each of the next 2 stitches*. Repeat from * to * around. (24sc)

Handle

Round 23 – Ch1 (doesn’t count as a stitch), sc in the same space, ch25, skip the next (ch2 space, dc, ch2 space, dc, ch2 space, dc, ch2 space). Sc in the next stitch, sc in the next 11 stitches (you will do this by making 2sc in each ch2 space and 1 sc in each dc until you have worked 11 stitches). Sc in the next stitch, ch25, skip the next (ch2 space, dc, ch2 space, dc, ch2 space, dc, ch2 space). Sc in the next stitch, sc in the next 11 stitches. Slip stitch into the first sc.

Round 24 – Sc in each stitch and each ch around. Slip stitch into the first sc, fasten off and weave in your ends.

Finishing tips: Weave in ends neatly with a darning needle. If desired, steam-block lightly to even out the stitches (test first to ensure yarn is suitable for blocking). The handle length can be adjusted by changing the ch25 to a shorter or longer chain to suit taste.
