Notes

Followed the pattern for the bulbs.

I was inspired by this project to add the plugs to the end. Doesn’t look as good but I’m happy enough with them lol.

Plugs were as follows:

Joined with slip stitch at the end of each row to get a flat top on the bottom piece and consistent edge on the top piece.

Bottom:
6 sc into magic circle (6)
slip stitch into first sc of previous round, ch1, 6 inc (12)
slip stitch join, ch1, 1 inc, 1 sc, repeat around (18)
slip stitch join, ch1, 18 sc until appropriate height
slip stitch join, tie off

Top:
6 sc into magic circle (6)
slip stitch into first sc of previous round, ch1, 6 inc (12)
slip stitch join, ch1, 1 inc, 1 sc, repeat around (18)
slip stitch join, ch1, 1 inc, 2 sc, repeat around (24)
slip stitch join, ch1, 1 inc, 3 sc, repeat around (30)
slip stitch join, tie off

I whip stitched the two pieces together at the 18sc round. Filled with PolyFil when almost done, finished whip stitch, finished off.

The sliver progs are ch5, sc into second to last ch, sc across, ch1, turn, 4sc, for a total of 4 rows and tied off. Poorly whip stitched in. The black pieces are just wound through with a darning needle and tied in.

Chain lengths were ch40 between end bulbs and plugs and ch25 between each bulb.
