Stitching Up
Apply pressure on both sides of the wound to close it, then stitch up the wound. Tie a knot at the end of the needle then poke the needle on the skin on one side of the cut about 3 mm from the wound. Pull the string until it is stopped by the knot. Poke through the other side of the wound then pull until the skins are joined. Do a crossover stitch so that the skins are tightly and firmly joined together. When you’re done stitching, tie a knot at the end of the stitch and make sure that it is as close to the wound as possible. Cut the thread just on top of the knot.
