Then knit 8 r. with an elastic band. 

Secure the loops like a sewn edge. To do this, take a thread of the same yarn from which the model is made, 3 times longer than the edge to be sewn on, and thread it through an embroidery needle with a rounded point. 

Then insert the needle away from you into the edge loop or at the rounded edge into the right loop, then lower the loop from the knitting needle.

Next, insert the needle into the 1st left loop, then into the next one. right loop, do not let the loops off the needle.

Then again insert the needle into the first left loop, then lower these and the next right loop from the needle and the next one. Grab the left loop in the direction of the arrow.

Insert the needle into the right loop already removed from the knitting needle, skip the left loop and insert the needle into the trace. right loop on the needle.

Repeat the last two steps constantly. Completing the rounded edge, insert the needle again behind the front wall of the 1st right loop.
