Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Correction: The pattern counts continuous rounds and never joins unless closing.
• Tip: Use invisible decreases for a neater finish.
• Tip: Add facial details before closing the top.
• Tip: Carrot tops are best attached before fully closing the hole—they sit neater when pulled tight.
• Tip: For a hanger, leave a green strand long and knot it as a loop.
• If you wish to add a basket or bunny: Check the creator’s channel for coordinating accessories.
