Crown shaping
- Return the last stitch you worked (which is K2togR) on the left needle. It is stitch A.
- In turn pull the stitches to the left from stitch A to it and pull over it.
- Once you are left with stitch А only, pull on it and break yarn leaving a 10 cm tail. Draw the yarn tail through stitch A and pull tight. Weave in the tail.
Weave in all yarn tails and do the blocking in accordance with your yarn label recommendations. Dry on a horizontal surface. There are 3 ways to make ties on my Youtube.
