Start by creating a slip knot and chain 4.

STEP 5: slst into the 4th chain from the hook to form a circle.
STEP 6: repeat steps 2 and 3.
STEP 7: slst 6 into the chain you created earlier to form a stem.
Continue repeating steps 4 to 7 until you reach desired length for your ivy trail. From the last leaf, slst back into the chains which do not have slst yet, all the way to the first leaf. Do
not worry about twisting your chain, it adds natural character to your trail of ivy. I turned
my chain on purpose, to make some leaves fall to the right and some to the left.
Weave in ends.
Optional: Spray the leaves with starch spray so that they keep their shape.
