- Sew pieces tightly and reinforce the loop for durability.
Tips
- Stitch markers are very helpful to keep track of rounds.
- If you struggle with the MR, try ch 2, and work into 2nd ch from hook as a substitute.
- Don't over-stuff; a flat finish makes for a neater keychain.
- To keep your bear faces even, count stitches at the end of every round.
