Step 1
Make a slip loop by placing the end of
the yarn over the working yarn.

Step 2
Grasp yarns where they cross and don't
let go until you have at least two bullions
on the ring. This will secure the ring so
you can let go and it won't unravel.

Step 3
With your hook already in the loop, yarn
over, draw back through slip loop.
Remember not to let go of the crossover
yet. Chain three.

Step 4
Wrap yarn, as many times as desired,
loosely over hook from back to front.
*While learning, start with fewer wraps,
4-5. This will make it easier to pull
through.
Step 5
Insert hook back into slip loop.

Step 6
Yarn over and pull back through slip
loop.

Step 7
Gently pull yarn over through all but last
loop on hook.
*I hold the loops gently between my
thumb and ring finger to secure them
while teasing the hook slowly through.
You can use whatever method is
comfortable for you. Now I know I said
not to let go of the crossover yet, but if
you want to hold the loops with two
fingers, you'll have to. If you study how
the slip loop is constructed, you;ll see
that the yarn end falls to the left side of
the loop. When you next insert your hook
into the loop, make certain the end is still
to the left and you'll be okay.
NOTE: If you cannot manage to slip the
yarn over through all the loops in one
motion, you can pick each loop over it
with your fingers. It will take longer this
way but it's just as effective.
Step 8
You will now have two loops on your
hook, one from the chain three and one
from your bullion.

Step 9
Yarn over and draw through both loops
on hook. You can adjust the length of the
bullion by tugging it gently lengthwise.

Step 10
You have just completed your first
bullion stitch!

Step 11
Continue to add bullions to your ring.
Step 12
Two bullions on the ring.

Step 13
Stop when you have eight or nine
bullions completed.

Step 14
To close your bullion ring, turn it over so
you can see the stitches underneath.

Step 15
Insert your hook into the third (top) chain
of your starting chain three.
Step 16
Yarn over.

Step 17
Draw through. There should be one loop
on hook.

Step 18
Turn bullion over and tug on yarn end to
close the hole in the center.

Step 19
Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing
your bullion circle to your scrumble, and
tie off.
Congratulations! You've made a bullion
circle!
