Gauge is not critical. Work fairly tight. |
|
|
"Official" footbags should be: |
|
Diameter: Minimum: 2.54cm (1.0 inches) - Maximum: 6.35cm (2.5 inches) |
|
Weight: Minimum: 20g (0.71 ounces) - Maximum: 70g (2.47 ounces) |
|
Notes: |
|
Stop = remove hook, put a safety pin in loop that was on hook, drop color and pick up next color. Work in continuous rounds. |
|
dec (decrease) = 1 sc over 2 stitches: (insert hook in next st, yo, pull up loop) twice, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook. |
|
Stuff with poly pellets in a sack (to keep pellets from working their way out through the stitches). The toe from nylon hose makes a nice sack (cut about 3" high). |
