With yarn in back, insert hook in left hand loop close to center knot, yarn over hook and pull through loop, * push the hook upwards so that it parallels the prongs and pass between the prongs to the back of staple, turn the staple ½ turn to right and place yarn in front of staple, wind yarn around left prong to the back of staple and bring to center, insert hook up through the front yarn of previous loop on left side close to the center, yarn over hook and pull up a chain through previous loop on staple (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 loops, repeat from * until there are 352 loops on each side, cut yarn, leaving a 6 inch length of yarn. Work 8 more strips in Scarlet and 8 strips in Blue in same manner.

Join remaining strips in same manner having 2 Scarlet strips on each outside edge and alternating colors when joining.
