Pattern Corrections & Tips

Corrections:

• Precise placement of popcorn stitches and eyes is important for cuteness! Popcorns should be symmetrically placed.
• Always check your stitch count after each round to avoid mistakes.

Tips:

• With plush/chenille yarn, close your MR slowly and gently to prevent yarn breakage.
• Tie all color change ends together inside-no need to weave.
• Popcorn stitches work best if you pull them tight and use your hook size to suit your yarn.
• Adjust eye and feature location for maximum personality!
