1: Hdc in 2nd chain from hook. Hdc in each across. Ch 1. Turn.
2-8: Hdc in each st across. Ch 1. Turn.
Small Can Covers (Make 4 for 1/2 Caddy, 7 for Full Caddy)
Attach all of your small can covers to the large can. Then you will repeat this same step for attaching the small cans together. This photo to the left shows all cans are attached before I secured the tails.
Apply the double sided tape to all your cans. After your covers are attached and completed, expose all your tape, then slide into the cover and rub the crocheted cover onto the cans. This will not make it permanent, but will "tack" the pieces together.

Assembly
Using yarn and needle. You will use the ch 1 spaces (aka ladder) to attach your pieces together.
The chain 1 "ladder" in the middle of the three "ladders" on soup cans will be attached to the large fruit can. Be sure you are attaching the correct ones.
For those of you doing the 1/2 Caddy, be sure you have your cans with 2 ladders are on the outside and your cans with 3 ladders are in the inside (attach the 3 ladder cans first) My sample shows the ch 1 holes as if I would be making a full caddy. You will not have the extra ladder exposed as shown here.
With yarn and H hook.

Refer to photos below for assistance- You will weave your yarn under each ch 1 of soup can, then fruit can back and forth. Much like a zig zag in a shoe lace. Then pull tight to to have both can covers touching. Before cutting, be sure to leave a long tail on bottom and top to be able to secure and weave in ends.
Attach all of your small can covers to the large can. Then you will repeat this same step for attaching the small cans together. This photo to the left shows all cans are attached before I secured the tails.Apply the double sided tape to all your cans.
