PATTERN CORRECTIONS

Adjust the yarn type or hook size if your stitches are too tight or too loose.
Ensure stitch counts match after each increase, decrease, or continuous round to maintain symmetry in shaping.

TIPS

Marker Usage: Always use a stitch marker for your first stitch in each round to keep track.
Even Stuffing: Stuff as you go, especially before decreasing rounds, to avoid lumps or misshapen areas.
Custom Details: Experiment with additional features, such as adding bows, buttons, or a different shape for the tail or accessory.
Blush Application: Use pink chalk or fabric paint sparingly for cheeks to give extra personality to your creation.
