When I wove in the ends , after making the trunk, I went back and forth up through the 4 DC’s, so it ends up making the trunk more solid looking. Excellent Pattern. I’m going to start making some so that during the holidays, I always have something little to leave for , bank tellers, waitresses, cashiers at the store. Maybe weave a candy cane through the holes to dress it up a bit. Perfect little Coaster.
