Step 7 - Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to create another curve under the SKs.
Step 8 - Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to create another curve however leaving the WCs in the section above un-worked.
Step 9 - Secure all the FCs on each side by folding towards the back and adhering with Craft Glue.
Step 10 - Trim ends and leave or fray as desired.
