Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Pattern Correction:
  If the body or head appears too large or too small, adjust by adding/removing increase rounds or using thicker/thinner yarn or a different hook.
• Tip:
  Fluffy yarn can be tricky to see stitches—use a stitch marker and work by feel if needed.
  For best results, do assembly with careful attention to symmetry, especially eye and leg placement.
