Drawstring

1. Cut 2 strands of yarn, 70cm long each
2. Thread one strand through all the eyelets, over purl stitches and under knit stitches
3. Repeat the previous step with another yarn, but this time starting from the opposite side
4. For each thread, make a double knot at the ends so that the yarn won’t fall out
