You can cut the yarn here and draw the yarn through all toe stitches,
pull tight and sew up the front of the boot,
or join boot together with a sc up the front, then run yarn through
the toe stitches & pull tight, secure.
I prefer the latter but it doesn't really matter which method you use.
You can work the toe part in the round like this slipper if you want,
just decrease as instructed.
You also have a seam to sew up the back.
Make tie. I will include the instructions for this soon.
