Pattern Correction & Tips

• Correction: In bobble rounds, ensure you alternate properly and always end with a bobble so stitch count remains correct.
• Tip: Push bobbles out as you go!
• Tip: If using thinner yarn, adjust hook size and expect a smaller amigurumi.
• Tip: If trunk opening feels large, loosely sew across before final stuffing.
