Fasten off and weave in the loose ends with a yarn needle. Whip stitch the two ends together with a needle and thread (or with a yarn needle and length of same coloured yarn) to form a loop.

Alternatively you can join them together with a crochet seam, find out more in our how to join crochet shapes together guide.
