  Step 4

  Making up

  Weave in ends.

  Attach button to the cosy, placing it in the centre of 5th row from the start of work.

  Using photograph as a guide, sew on communicator badge on the side of cosy, pulling it into shape as you sew.

  If you wish; with tapestry needle and silver yarn (I held it double) embroider LLAP (Live Long And Prosper) so it would display on the opposite side to the badge.
