Pattern Corrections & Tips

Corrections:

Adjust neck length to suit your preference-Sid's personality shines with both super-long and medium necks!
Place limbs where you like; Sid is meant to be a bit chaotic.

Tips:

Stuff head and body firmly to support neck; stuff neck lightly for flexibility.
Use back loop rounds as instructed for shaping.
For extra security with safety eyes, melt the backing slightly.
Embroider details before final assembly for neat finishing.
