Do 4 more rings down, and 3 chains. So you have 6 rings on the first side and 5 across.
I just added on my green at this point, and cut the red ball thread. Leave enough to hide the end. And you will have the green end to hide also. There is one more red ring to be made, but that will be made with the red that is left on the Needle.

Add a hanger at the top if desired. Should not need shaping or starching unless you desire to do so.
