Pattern Correction & Tips

Head Decrease: Ensure all rounds maintain listed stitch count. If tightness causes difficulty, relax your grip or consider a larger hook temporarily.
Color Changes: Change colors at row ends for clean transitions.
Embroidery: Stuff head firmly before embroidering for best stability.
General Tip: Mark color changes and row counts with removable stitch markers to simplify tracking steps.
When closing tail or stitching features, double-check both yarn ends exit the exact same spot for seamless knot burying.
