Tips and trics for working with small parts

  • Small parts like e.g. arms and noses have the tendency to curl up with the wrong side on the outside of your work. Turn your work right side out after rnd 2 before you continue. In later rnds it will be almost impossible to turn your work right side out.
  • Use pins to keep the small parts in place before you sew them together with other parts.
  • Take your time.

I wish you lots of happy crocheting!
