Bind off loosely. To bind off: Using size G or H crochet hook, lift the stitch off the first peg. One loop is on the hook.\* Lift the next stitch of the next peg and pull through the first loop on the hook. Make a single chain stitch -- don't pull it too tight. \*Repeat from \* to \* until you have one loop left on the hook and no stitches on pegs. Make one last chain stitch, cut the yarn -- leaving a tail -- and pull all the way through. Weave in loose end and trim so it doesn't show.
