Break yarn and pull through last stitch, making a knot
Finishing:
Cut 2 pieces of yarn about 24" each.
For both pieces follow these steps: thread yarn onto tapestry needle and insert through a single stitch on one of the ends
Pull yarn halfway through until there are three 12" strands hanging down, two from this 24" piece and one from the yarn tail from the cast on or bind off (depending which side you are on).
Tie into a knot. Braid pretty tightly, and then tie a knot.
No ends to weave in! Block if desired.
Happy Knitting!
