FINISHING
Turn the rectangle into a tube by rolling the bound-off edge to meet the cast-on edge and stitching these edges together using the CO tail. Secure with two tight knots and trim any excess.
With the tube lengthwise and the seam facing you, gather the two ends into the center, scrunching into a puff shape with a tight "waist". (see figure 1, left)
Using the nylon cord around the waist, tie one constrictor knot (described below) . The constrictor knot is simple to tie and grips itself so it will not work loose. It will help you to tighten the Bonbon as much as possible, giving you maximum "puff". (see figures 2 & 3)
Note: tight knots are important, due to the scrubbing action the Bonbon will be subjected to.
Follow the constrictor knot with two or three regular overhand knots to seal it.
If desired, make a loop from one string end, and tie it down. I used a double-tied bow for mine.
Cut off ends, and using a match lightly singe the ends of the nylon cord to keep them from fraying.
