- Check your work before fastening off. Look for missing stitches.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail about 6 inches long. Pull the tail through the final loop.
- Weave the end through several stitches on the wrong side and trim the excess. Weave in the starting tail the same way.

- If needed, wet the pieces with cool water, press gently in a towel, and block them flat into circles. Let them dry completely.
Notes
Ensure that if you use acrylic, you block it cold or with steam held at a distance as acrylic can melt under heat. Avoid using small parts or loose stitches for child-safe versions.
