Add Zipper:
Measure the length of zipper needed. If the zipper is too long, sew a new stopper with matching thread, by sewing around the zipper repeatedly so it cannot open.
Working into Round 26, attach the zipper. If you're using a needle and thread, sew it on with the back stitch. If you are using the Sharp Hook and crochet thread, use the Surface Crochet method.
