Next, insert the needle anywhere, leave a small end, exit it through the first corner, insert it into the second corner and do not tighten the thread much so that a small arch is formed, exit the needle 2 rounds down the center, grab the smile arch (working thread from above) and insert the needle in the same place in the center.
Next, exit the needle through the starting point, tie a knot and hide the ends.
