F astening Off

At the end of your piece of crochet, it’s important to ‘fasten off’ your stitches correctly to stop your work unravelling.

Cut your yarn, leaving a tail of around 10cm/4 in. Loosen the loop of the last stitch, then pull the end of the yarn through that loop all the way, and tighten. You may then want to leave a tail of yarn long enough to sew the item together.
