SPECIAL TECHNIQUE

Covering sc (to cover ponytail elastic)—Place a slip knot on the hook. *Insert hook, from front to back, into center of ponytail elastic. Take yarn over top of elastic to back, and over the hook. Draw loop to front, bring working yarn back over top of elastic, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook (1 sc worked over elastic); repeat from * until elastic is completely covered or number of times indicated. Push stitches together as you work, to ensure complete coverage.
