Notes
  • Switched out the M1 for lifted increases.
  • Coiling the shell works much better if you pick up the and knit from the shell before k2tog-ing with the current row.
  • Chopsticks are great tools for stuffing small things.
  • Worked the 1st shell until it was 30 stitches around because that’s when I ran out of red yarn. The second shell only made it to 25 sts. Worked a row of purl to make a ridge and knit the head from the live stitches. Also coiled on every row to keep the stitches from pulling too much.
