Make up
Weave in ends. Sew two pieces together using matress stitch all the way around except for the cast off edges. Cut 2 lengths of CC yarn about 40cm long. Twist each length of yarn in the direction of the ply then fold in half and the two ends of the yarn should twist together. Thread one length in and out of eyelet holes starting on the right. Thread the other length through starting on the left. Knot together the ends of each length of yarn and clip ends neatly.
