- The blouse instructions are simplified; adjust armhole placement if needed for fit.
- When joining limbs, count stitches carefully for symmetry.
Tips
- Use stitch markers for round tracking, especially on limbs and body.
- Stuff firmly but avoid overstuffing to keep shape.
- Use lightweight yarn and small hook for a miniature look.
- Glue felt pieces only after all stuffing and shaping are complete.
- Allow glued parts to dry thoroughly before removing pins.
- For more animal variations, alter hat, ear, and color combinations.
