💡 Pro tip: Lay each circle flat as you finish it. All three should lie completely flat with no curling or ruffling. If they don't, check your stitch count!
How to Fasten Off Cleanly
- Cut your yarn leaving a 6-inch tail
- Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook
- Thread the tail onto your tapestry needle
- Weave through 4–5 stitches in a zigzag pattern
- Trim the excess — done! ✨
