Pattern Correction

• Be careful when attaching the feet so the legs are evenly spaced (separate by 4 stitches).
• Make sure to securely stuff the toy, especially the feet, before closing rounds.
• Check your stitch count after each increase or decrease round.

Tips

• For best results, use a smaller hook than recommended for your yarn for a tight, even fabric.
• Rounds are worked continuously; use a stitch marker to avoid mistakes.
• Try using pastel or variegated yarn for a "marshmallow swirl" effect.
• If making for a child, embroider eyes instead of safety eyes for maximum safety.
