Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Correction: If your stitch count goes off, double-check that arms and legs are made only in the front loops where indicated.
• Tip: Use stitch markers for each round, especially while creating arms/legs, to avoid confusion.
• Tip: Block and shape arms/legs gently after stuffing-they tend to curl or twist.
