Pattern Correction

Tips

  • For color changes, always complete the last yarn-over of the last stitch in the old color with the new color for a clean transition.
  • Stuff firmly but do not over-fill, especially the extremities and head, to avoid holes.
  • Weave ends securely for durability, especially for toys meant for children.
