Insert hook into the next stitch of A and the next hole of B as indicated in the pattern, working in next 2 A stitches and making 2 single crochet stitches in each hole of B. Drop B to back of piece (right side) until needed on next single crochet round.

Prepare the fabric for stitching by trimming the cut edge in a curve. Apply fabric sealant to the cut edge and allow to dry thoroughly before stitching.
