Join with sl st in next unworked st on the continuous round. Sl st in the next unworked

Fasten off.

Weave the 48" piece of ribbon through along the top and tie a bow (see photo).

Weave the 20" piece of ribbon through along the bottom (see photo). I pulled the ribbon out at
each space to make it look more finished.

Fill with plastic bags and hang it up.
