Pattern Correction & Tips
- Always mark your first stitch of each round.
- Shape your mango as you stuff—more stuffing at the wider end, less at the tip.
- If the leaf is too small/large, adjust stitch count for desired look.
- For a shiny ‘ripe’ look, use a variegated or semi-gloss yarn.
- Embroider or sew on details (face, cheeks, etc.) before final closure for easier access.
- Attach keychain findings before closing for sturdy attachment.
