Step 3: Insert hook in dropped loop from back (illustration #4) turn loom toward you from right to left, passing yarn around back of loom, chain 1 (illustration #5) sc in front loop to left of center sts, (illustration #6) drop loop from hook.
(Note: If easier for you, do not drop hook from loop before turning, but pass shank of crochet hook through to back of loom and then turn and proceed as in step 3 after turn.)

KEEPING TWIST: To keep twist in loops, insert crochet hook from back to front in loops, then follow directions given.
WORKING LOOPS STRAIGHT: Insert crochet hook from front to back in loops, then follow directions given.
When joining strips they sometimes have a tendency to ride uphill or to one side. We therefore suggest the following method of joining. Alternating from strip to strip, with starting end always on the right, insert hook in 2 right loops of 1st strip and pull through 1st 2 left loops of 2nd strip, then 2 loops on 1st strip, etc. until all loops are joined. Fasten off.
