3. Tie the end in the same manner as when you are finishing a hat.

Here are some additional views of the neck pillow pattern. These were loomed by Barbie Martin.
The first is done with 2 strands of medium (4) weight yarn. Barbie notes that it still looked a bit thin, so she added one strand of fun fur and came up with the lovely pillow below:

Patriotic Decoration


Instructions
1. This pattern takes a long time, but it can be done in steps and it does not seem so long. Place your finished pieces in a plastic bag to store between seasons.
2. This project is knit in the cable stitch where you use a single strand of knitting worsted yarn and e wrap three rows on the looms and then take the bottom row up and over the other 2 rows (One-over-two stitch). Add one row and take the bottom row over the 2 rows.  
3. Start with the green loom and wrap all of the pegs on the loom, knit 30 rows."  Pull up the loops from the loom as you would if you were making a hat top." 
4. Make sure that you leave a hole in the middle to put over the dowel."  Run a piece of yarn through the beginning stitches and pull them up tight. (leave a hole to put the dowel through).
5. I felt that this would be an easier way to show how to make the rings."  There are 15 knitted disks.
