Leave a tail length equal to the amount that you would normally use to complete a row.

Hold the needles parallel, wrong sides together, and thread the tail onto a tapestry needle.
-
Keep the work loose, try to match the tension of the stitches, but it is easier to tighten it up later than
to loosen it.
-
Using the tapestry needle, go into the stitch on the front needle as if to purl, draw the thread all of the
way through. Leave the stitch on the needle.
-
Go into the stitch on the back needle as if to knit, leave the stitch on the needle.
-
*Go into the stitch on the front needle as if to knit, take it off the needle.
-
Go into the next stitch on the front needle as if to purl, leave it on the needle.
-
Go into the stitch on the back needle as if to purl, take it off.
-
Go into the next stitch on the back needle as if to knit, leave it on the needle. *

Repeat steps between * and * until all stitches are off of the needles. If the stitches are too loose,
put a darning egg under the work and tighten to match surrounding stitches. Bring tail to the inside and fasten
off.
