Special Notes

• Velvet yarn has a slippery texture. Tightening stitches helps maintain structure and prevents unraveling.

Pattern Correction

If you experience a mismatch in stitch counts, ensure proper use of increases and decreases at each step. Velvet yarn can obscure accuracy due to its texture. Count your stitches carefully.

Tips

• If the velvet yarn begins to split, crochet tighter stitches or slightly loosen your grip on the yarn.
• Stuff the body firmly to prevent sagging over time.
• Ensure eye backings are secure to prevent the eyes from popping out with play or display.
• For additional softness, lightly steam the finished piece. Avoid applying high heat, as velvet fabric is sensitive.
