Hanging Loop

Tips for the Best Result

• Keep your stitches tight enough to avoid gaps, but not so tight that your work becomes stiff.
• Lightly stuff each piece; overstuffing can distort the shape, especially in the wings.
• Use stitch markers to help keep track of rounds, particularly in the head and body.
