Pin it for later!!!

The biggest secret it’s right at beginning! Instead of finishing with 6SC (last row 6dec), stop your work at one row before the ending (1sc, 1dec total 12sc).

With a sewing needle, insert the yarn in the front loop of two SC. Like when you are doing the invisible decrease.

Repeat this process all across your stitches. Inserting the yarn in the front loop of the two stitches. You will make this 6 times (total of the 12sc you have in your work).

Pull tight the yarn once you are done.

Now that your crochet ball is closed. Start making a circle around the last row, inserting the yarn 2 by 2 stitches. This will make the last row a little bit more “fat”, giving a better shape of your row.
