| 1. Tie one end of the thicker thread or wool to the ring, leaving a 15cm or so tail. Loop round ring as shown, brining the yarn through each loop and pulling tight to form a knot. Continue until the ring is closely covered, then leave another 15cm tail and cut off the end.
2. Thread the needle with the thin yarn. Do not cut this. It will be awkward to use at full length, but you need to do it all in one. Look at the ring. Mentally (or with pins) divide it into equal sections, perhaps the 12 numbers of the clock. make stitches at theses intervals all round the ring, pulling the loops taut.
3. When you get back to the starting point, go round a second time putting a new loop through each loop of the first round. Pull tight. You will begin to see a web-like pattern emerge.
Keep knotting in successive circles, each loop into the loop of the previous circle and pulling tight. When you reach the centre, fasten with a knot and tie on a bead.
Attach the beads to the wool tails. Make extra tails with left-over thin yarn and atach more beads. You can also use shells, buttons etc. Arrange them to fall well under the circle. Make a loop at the top to hang your dream catcher. Finish by catching the feather in the web.
May all your dreams be good!
