You can leave it like that or if you want you can make a crochet hem
around the fronts and neckline with size 6 mm (J/10 US) crochet hook using
a half double crochet stitches.

Weave all ends.

And we’re done!!
GAUGE:
What is a gauge? The gauge helps you make the item the same size. It tells
you how many stitches and rows fit into 4” (10cm) so you can make sure
your knitting matches. It’s always best to cast on more stitches than the
gauge and knit more rows so that when you measure you can really see
how many you have.

Check your yarn’s label instructions and if the instruction says the yarn can
be ironed block the gauge with an iron before measuring it. Do not iron the
gauge if the yarn instructions says not to!

Lay your sample flat and measure 4” (10cm) height and 4” (10 cm) width
with a ruler and count how many stitches/rows you have within that
measurement. And you’re done!
