Finishing Tips

• Placement tip: Before permanently attaching eyes or cheeks, place your glasses on the finished body to confirm the best eye placement for balance and appearance.
• Weaving ends: Use a tapestry needle to hide yarn tails inside the body so they don’t show when the glasses are placed on the holder.
• Customization: Use different yarn weights or hook sizes to slightly adjust the final size; make a test swatch if you need a precise fit for larger or smaller glasses.

Care and Use

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Keep away from high heat or rough handling to preserve shape and safety eyes.
