Finish off the piece and cut loose from your skein of yarn.

Sewing It Around the Ornament

Take off the ornaments top off. Stretch the top of your circle around the ornaments opening.

Thread your yarn needle with any color of your choosing (I am using white to show you how to do it). Place section 2 around the base of the ornament. Using your needle, sew the pieces together, tightening the 2 pieces together as you sew.
