Finishing

1. Turn piece inside out (wrong side facing). Thread yarn needle with cast on tail, and sew cast on end closed. Fill with plastic pellets up to Round 7. Cut a long tail with B, thread yarn needle and sew across Round 10 through both thicknesses to keep the pellets in place. Sew through both thicknesses across Round 16 (with no pellets between Rounds 10 and 16). Stuff remainder of piece with pellets, up to ½" (12.7 mm) from top. Create a triangle by joining left and right top corners as shown. Thread yarn needle with remaining tail and sew top edge closed. Fasten securely; weave in ends.
