Cut a extra long yarn tail, enough to stitch it closed and stitch around the plum a few times.

Thread the yarn through the front loops of each of the last 6 st, pull the tail tight.

Thread the yarn tail over one side of the plum and up center of the plum, squeeze the top and bottom of the plum and pull the yarn tail tight, thread the yarn over same side of the plum twice more.

Repeat this last step over the opposite side of the plum then make a knot to hold everything in place.
