Work 1 round even and then repeat Decrease Round one more time.

seaming

Cut yarn leaving a very long tail and thread onto a tapestry needle. Seam live stitches to the back of the ravioli as such:

Bring tapestry needle through first live stitch knitwise and let stitch fall off needle.
Fold hem towards back of work and bring tapestry needle through purl bump in same column of stitches as first stitch, where edge of hem naturally aligns.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until no live stitches remain. NOTE: On side edges of ravioli, bring tapestry needle downwards through one leg of stockinette row, spacing evenly.

finishing

Weave in all ends.

Sew on desired number of buttons (they’ll fit right through the stitches!). Attach webbing to swivel hooks and add a slider buckle to make an adjustable strap. Clip swivel hooks to corners of ravioli opening.
