Starting with yarn in front, on same side of Carrier that you started, leave a 2 1/2” starting end and whip st across Hood, beg at base of Hood and whip st around remainder of Carrier Backboard, ending at base of hood on opposite side. Trim finishing end to 2 1/2”. Tie 2 ends from each set tog on each side, do not cut. Cut four 5” pieces of white yarn. Using 2 black yarn ends on 1 side of Hood, tie across centers of 2 pieces of white yarn with a double knot. Rep on other side of Hood. Let all ends hang.STEP 4: Hot glue papoose into Lace Cradle. Thread a yarn needle with a 24” piece of black yarn. Starting at bottom of cradle, leaving a 2 1/2” starting end, lace yarn back and forth across papoose to neck, using every 4th sc on each side.
