8. Fasten off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure it.
9. Form the bow: Fold the circle in half and sew the edges together to create the bow shape. Make sure the edges align smoothly.
10. Wrap the center: Take the remaining yarn tail and wrap it around the center of the bow several times. Secure it with a knot to hold the shape.
