Quick Tips

• Use a 2.0 mm hook and slightly tighter than usual tension for a firm fabric so stuffing doesn’t show through.
• Place safety eyes before closing the head and secure them tightly; consider using washers for extra safety if the toy is for a child.
• When stuffing, add fiberfill gradually and shape as you go to avoid lumps.
• Sew parts on securely with matching yarn and weave in ends neatly.
