With a semi-circular needle to sew on a long piece of yarn nesputannoy, from which he made loops of the carpet and then take another stitch to form a loop. Tighten the noose so that it coincides in form with the existing loops of the carpet.You can use a match or other object, which will standardize the size of loops (see Box).
