Front Loop Only and Back Loop Only

ASSEMBLY

1. Sew the stamp to the BACK PIECE between Rows 11 and 21. Weave in the ends.
2. Using black yarn, sew 3 black lines starting 2 rows below the stamp. The lines should be 12 to 14 stitches long and sewn two rows apart. Weave in the ends.
3. Using black yarn, sew three lines to the left of the stamp. The first line should be sewn on Row 15, the second line – on Row 17, and the last line – on Row 19. Weave in the ends.
4. Flip the back of the envelope so that the inside is facing you. Place the FRONT PIECE on top. Align the bottom and sides of the two pieces. Using red yarn, slip stitch through both starting at the top left corner of the FRONT (the rectangular piece). Slip stitch all around the left side, the bottom, and then the right side.
5. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail and without fastening off pull the end out only of the BACK part of the envelope.
6. Continue slip stitching only through the top of the rectangle part of the envelope.
7. Once finished, fasten off and weave in the ends.
8. Insert hook in the same stitch where you last crocheted through the FRONT and BACK on the right. With red slip stitch all around the top of the BACK PIECE (the flap). Fasten off and weave in the ends.
9. Sew the strap on Row 15 or 16 making sure you can close the envelope and that the strap will hold it closed.
