Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Use a smaller hook: Choose a hook size slightly smaller than recommended for your yarn to prevent stuffing from peeking through your stitches.
- Embroider early: Stitch the black sleepy eyes onto the head before stuffing it completely and attaching it to the neck, making it easier to secure your knots.
- Secure assembly: Use pins to hold the head, wings, and beak in place before sewing them down with your yarn needle to ensure everything looks balanced and symmetrical.
- Firm stuffing: Add fiberfill gradually into the body and neck to maintain smooth, rounded curves without over-stretching the stitches.
