Finishing:

Hold the two panels together with the right side out (the side you will want everyone to see), join panels together with a single crochet stitch down along the long edge, 3 single crochets in the corner, the bottom, 3 single crochets in the other corner and back up the remaining long edge evenly. Do not close off the button closure of the remaining short edge.

• 

Attach buttons securely with yarn to the back panel so they line up with the buttonholes on the front panel. I used stitch markers to mark off where the buttons would go so they are evenly lined up with the buttonhole openings.

• 

• 

Along the front below the button flap, add fringe using ten 8-10 inch pieces of yarn as shown below. Or you can if you prefer a tutorial then use my “how to add fringe to crochet” tutorial found on the blog.  Trim up the edges of the fringe when you are done so that they are even across the bottom. 

You are done!
