Tips

Small details make the finish better.

  • Use the same yarn weight across all three pieces so the set feels coordinated.
  • Embroidered eyes are the safest choice for decor that may be handled by children.
  • Stuff gradually; overstuffing makes small crochet figures lumpy.
  • Repeat the same face style across the trio for a cohesive look.
