Stitches, however, only three scooby Strings are requires to complete this project, and you work from the top of the strands (using a knot) therefore you can make longer scoubidou pieces using this stitch!
| Starting Stitch |
 |
 |
 |
| 1. Start by tieing the two pieces of scoubidou in a knot leaving about two inches above the knot. |
2. Turn the project upside down and seperate the three scoubidous, as shown in the picture. |
3. Take the scoubi string on the left (yellow) and place it over the one to its left (black). |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. Then take the black strand and place it back over the first strand (yellow). This should create two loops that cross each other. |
5. Pick up your third scoubidou (red) and take it over the loop closest to it (black) and under the yellow loop. |
6. Pull the three scoubi laces in different directions until the first stitch is tight and secure. Notice the triangle shape created! |

 |
| 7. Repeat this process by placing the yellow scooby strand over the black scooby strand making yet another loop. |
8. Pick up the black strand and bring it back over the yellow scoubidou creating a second loop that crosses the first. |
9. Pick up the red scooby again and take it over the loop closest to it and under the second (same as we did before).
|
 |
 |
 |
| 10. Pull the three strands in different directions until your second triangle stitch looks like this. |
11. This is how the project should look after you have completed about an inch of stitching. |
12. When you want to stop stitching do one more triangle stitch but leave it loose, as shown in the picture. |
Completion Stitch |
 |
 |
 |
| 13. Take any of the three scooby strings (we have used red) and place it under the scoubidou to its left, then up through the centre of the loose stitch. |
14. Repeat this with the other two strands so all the scooby dou ends are coming up through the centre of the stitch. |
15. Pull the strands tight (individually if you have to) until the completion knot is secure. |
|
 |
| 16. Now undo the original knot you made at the start of the project (on the left in this picture) and turn it into another completion stitch . |
17. Carefully snip off the spare scoubidou strings at both ends, using a pair of scissors. |
 |
| 18. When you have completed the project, the piece should look something like this. Notice the two completion stitches at either end make the project look a lot neater. |
