Pattern Corrections & Tips

Correction:

Double-check your stitch counts after each round/row, especially following increases and decreases for an accurate and snug fit.

Tips:

Use a removable stitch marker to clearly track round starts (especially important in amigurumi and spiral work).
Keep your stitches even and not too loose—this prevents gaps and helps the costume hold its shape.
Block the finished ruffled edge lightly for maximum "floaty" effect.
For a sturdier face, secure felt features with a few stitches in addition to glue.
