* once you’ve completed both sides, line them up evenly having the longest edge along the top (this will be the neck and shoulders) attach at one corner and close a seam a portion of the way with 59 sc, close with sl.st and fasten off
* re-attach yarn at the other corner and repeat the same for this partial seam closure
* hide all tail ends of project with a yarn needle by weaving in and out of stitches on the inside
* fringe: cut even lengths of yarn or thread and tie along the edge evenly spaced with a double knot
