1. To create the loop and Tail

you will need a 40cm lenght of narrow ribbon.

Start with a tail, adding a loop by  looping the ribbon under your thumb, 

adding a 2nd slightly smaller loop by slipping it under the thumb, and finish with a tail, you can either stitch the ends together, 

 but I wire the ends, together to secure.

Both designs work

To form the lace loops

you need a 20cm strip of lace

the back loop should be longer than the front, 

Stitch or wire the ends securely

to wire place wire across the ends pulling it downwards to form a hook, and twist wire across the lace to secure in place.

To create the hat, you need

1 x Narrow white loop and tale

1 x narrow pink loop and tail

2 x lace loops

2 x 7mm pink loops

1 x 7 mm white loop

2 x 15mm wide pink loops

you create all loops in the same way.

3 x tiny roses to cover the centre
