Yo-yo Quilt Pumpkin Doily – Step 3
Once you are near the end (where you began at the circle) gently pull the thread tight and the outer edge of the circle will begin to pull up and meet in the center. Then use your fingers to flatten your yo-yo till you like the way it looks. After flattening knot the thread a couple of times to hold the yo-yo in place.
