Pattern Correction & Tips

  • Correction: In the video, after making the ear(s) using FLO, always remember to use any marked leftover BLO for subsequent sc rounds.
  • Tip: If bobble feet do not align perfectly, adjust within the round to fit your work. Consistency is more important than strict stitch count for plushies.
  • Tip: For more secure features, double-knot any embroidered elements and always check safety eye backs are locked in place before stuffing.
