Pattern Correction

• Slip knot or slip stitch at the start of the magic ring does not count as a stitch.
• Use invisible decrease (FLO) for a neater finish when decreasing.
• For beginners, marking the first stitch of each round improves shape and count accuracy.

Tips

• Use fluffy or velvet yarn for an extra-soft plushy.
• Eyes and other details can be glued or sewn according to your preference.
• Adjust bow and ear size by increasing or decreasing initial chains/stitches as desired.
• The basic head shape can be used for other characters by changing colors and facial details.
