Pattern Correction & Tips

Tight Stitches: For amigurumi, keep stitches firm—stuff should not show through.
Color Change: When changing colors, always work last pull-through of the last stitch in the old color with the new color.
Sl st Round: Work loosely or use a 0.25 mm larger hook; otherwise, the round will cinch and distort the shape.
Ears: Stack and sc together for stiff, neat edges.
Eyes/Nose: If you prefer, use small black safety eyes instead of felt, and embroider a small nose.
