Thank you for sharing these instructions. I've been having a go with straw. Going out in the morning to see if I can find some rush 😊

thanks for the left-handed version; I, as well as both my sons and half my grandsons are left-handed, all stemming from my Irish American mother Sheila.

How do you make the other two kinds of crosses? The three arms and the other one seen in this video.

Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing. We will be making one for Imbolc this year. When it is hung up, is it supposed to go upright like a t or sideways like an x?
