Useful Tips

Maintain consistent tension, especially when changing hooks between pieces.
Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round for accuracy.
When stuffing, fill pieces gently to maintain a soft, rounded shape and prevent the seams from stretching.
For embroidery, use contrasting thread for visibility and add details slowly for symmetry.
Folding the ears before sewing gives the bunny extra character and helps them sit upright.
