Finishing

Tip: Weave in the tail end in the same color yarn.
Sew: Place the cowl straight with RS facing up. Fold the cowl in half by bringing both the short sides together, now the WS is facing up. Match rows. With a tapestry needle, sew both short sides together on WS using the long tail end you left before. Turn inside out so RS faces up again.
