Yarn Letters

Okay, the title sounds boring, but the results are so adorable, and fairly easy!

Supplies:
Wooden letter of your choice
Skeen of yarn

Wrapping can cause hand cramps. I took several breaks. Also, if you're starting out, I don't recommend the wooden letters with curly ends. Those are difficult. Mady's "M" took me 2-3 hours, whereas Adair's "A" took maybe 45 minutes. My instructions are based off of doing the letter A.

Start at the base of the letter, where the Serif part (the foot, if you will) is at. Wrap the yarn vertically around both sides of the foot. Hold the end when you make the first wrap, then cross over the end upon the second wrap to secure it in place. Once the foot is totally wrapped vertically, wrap it horizontally. Start at the bottom of the foot and wrap up.

Continue to wrap your yarn upwards on the letter. For letters like A, once you get to the cross bar, do a few wraps diagonally into the corner, then wrap vertically on the cross bar. Continue that process around the sides of the opening of the A (or whatever letter you're doing). Do a few diagonal wraps from the peak of the opening to the top. I secured the end of the yarn by wrapping it under the tightly pulled yarn.

Repeat the steps for the other side of the letter. When you get to the crossbar part, wrap your yarn horizontally across the entire length. Continue to wrap straight up. It's okay to double wrap some areas. Pull the yarn end under the pre-wrapped part to secure it.

That's it! You're done!
