• Tip: To avoid gaps when joining new colors, pull join through first st of new round with new color.
• Tip: Add as many “ingredient” rounds as you like to customize your burger style.
• Tip: Weave in all color-change yarn tails securely before starting embroidery.
• Tip: For children’s hat, stop increasing earlier and adjust ingredient rounds for head height.
