1. Finish the last stitch and cut the yarn so that the yarn tail is at least 5 inches long. Pull the remaining loop until there's no loop left.

2. Thread a needle with the yarn tail. lf you have a gap in the middle of the ball, insert the needle through the front loops of each stitch from the bottom up.Pull tight each time you bring the needle through a loop.

3.Hide the yarn tail in the piece (see tutorial on Part.11) by putting the needle through the middle of the circle you just closed and out some other point on the piece.
