Materials:

Crochet Cotton #20
Steel Crochet Hook #7 (or whatever works best)
Small length of 1/8# ribbon

Long arm of cross:

ch 4, sl to 1st ch to form ring, ch 4 turn
row 1: dc in ring, ch 3, (dc in ring, ch 2, dc in ring, ch 3) 3 times, sl to 3rd ch of turning 4-ch, ch 3, turn
row2: 2 dc in same space, ch 3, skip ch 3 space, 3 dc in dc, ch 1, turn,

row 4-9: repeat row 3
row 10: skip 1 dc, sl in next 2 dc, fasten off

Short arms of cross (work 3):

Attach thread to a dc on the right side of a ch 3 space
row 1: ch 3, 2 dc in same space, ch 3, skip ch 3 space, 3 dc in dc, ch 1, turn
row 2: skip 1 dc, sl in next 2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, ch 3, skip ch 3 space, 3 dc in dc, ch 1, turn
row 3-4: repeat row 2
row 5: skip 1 dc, sl in next 2 dc, fasten off

Finishing:
weave in all ends (I find it easiest to weave in the ends as I complete each arm); weave a piece of narrow ribbon (1/8-1/4") through ch 3 spaces, start by going -over- the first space, this will cause the ribbon to go under the ring at the center of the cross; trim ribbon with a diagonal cut
