If you want the curtain to be more luxurious, you need to apply a factor of 1.2-2, which depends on the depth of the wave. For processing edges add from 6 to 10 cm. The length can be any length you choose;

• standard hinge height counted 10 cm

For processing, you need to fold the rectangle in half, the front side will be inside. Then overlaps the line on the long edge.

Scissors and a hook No1 will also be needed.So, you first need to pierce the fabric and tie up the very edge of the fabric with single crochets, then - the air loops that form a loop on the curtain, retreat, then again the columns, repeating until the end. The alternation of knitted fabric and chains of air loops look very nice and neat, as well as durable.

• "Giselle". Beautiful and sophisticated design option fastening curtains - loop "Giselle". However, this option can be used only for light fabrics, for example, tulle, organza. The hinges should be made very wide, and then pulled them down with thin ribbons.
