3Build the triangle
Continue working in rows, increasing at the beginning and end to form the triangular shape.
4Finish edges
Use a slip stitch to finish the edges neatly. This ensures a polished look and prevents unraveling. For detail, consider understitching the edges.
5Weave in ends
Make sure to weave in all yarn ends using a tapestry needle for a clean finish.
