CUPS
Make a starting chain that is the length of
Measurement A.
Row 1: Hdc in the second ch from your hook and
each ch until you reach the last ch. In last ch,
(hdc 2, ch1, hdc 2) in same st. Working on the
opposite side of your chain, Hdc in each ch to

Rows 3 and on: Repeat Row 2 until your cup
bottom is one row away from measurement B.
Last row: Repeat Row 2 until you reach the ch1
space. Hdc 2 times in ch1 space, ch 70 (or as

back bump of ch from hook and each back bump
until you reach your ch1 space. Hdc 2 times in
ch1 sp and each st to end. Do not fasten off!
(when making the second cup repeat the same
steps as in the first cup, except when you reach
the end of your cup you don't attach the ring in
one go ,but fasten off and attach the yarn on
the opposite side of the cup so that both cups
will be facing the right side up. Then continue
doing the same steps as before.)

ring.
ATTACH THE RING AND
MAKE THE STRAPS

your crochet hook
through the ring ,grab
the yarn and pull it
through the ring and
make a sp st( See figure
