Pattern Correction & Tips

• Tip: Adjust the number of sc per tab to suit your tab’s size—tabs should be fully covered with no metal showing.
• Tip: For a “full” avocado, cover both tabs in the same shade and join. For a “slice,” use two shades as described.
• Correction: Construction is modular, so you may attach the seed and details with either glue or neat sewing, as you prefer.
• Tip: A hot glue gun is quicker but any strong, clear-drying glue will work.
• Tip: If intended for children, always ensure all glued or sewn parts are extremely secure.
