How to Close and Fasten off yarn?

To close a crochet piece without a hole, follow the decrease stitches sequence .When you’ve finished the last stitch, patterns will often tell you to “fasten off leaving a long tail.” A long yarn tail is usually at least 6 inches long, or if you’re sewing the piece onto something else, at least the length of the current piece’s edge. Fastening off keeps the piece together.
