Use a measuring tape and check that your knitting is 5 ½”
inches, add rows here if necessary before doing border. For adult size, Work
until knitting reaches 9 inches before doing border. Note: You may customize length of muff by adding
or subtracting e-wrap knit rows in this section.

Bind
off 22 pegs and begin 2 stitch i-cord on the last 2 pegs.
Keep knitting i-cord until it reaches 30 inches then bind off. To custom fit muff measure child from neck
to waist (double measurement). It is better to make it long as it can be
knotted at the back of the neck to shorten.
Seam i-cord to other end of muff, making sure it is even on
both sides.

- Weave in ends.
- Optional: Make a bow using ribbon and attach it to one side of i-cord where it joins the muff.
