TIE

Twist a strand of red and a strand of aran or white yarn together until it twists back on itself.
This takes quite a bit of twisting. Once twisted grab the center of the yarn and then bring both ends together to allow it to "twist". Tie a knot in each end, then cut the folded end.

FINISHING

Weave the tie through the dc row and tie in a bow.
