4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: This pattern utilizes basic stitches like single crochet (sc) and slip stitches (sl st) for a smooth finish. Be sure to keep your tension consistent for a neat appearance.

– Stuffing density: For this pillow, you want a medium density of stuffing. This allows it to maintain its shape while remaining soft and cuddly.

– Assembly: Since this is a no-sew pattern, keep track of your ends and weave them in carefully during the assembly process to ensure a clean finish.

– Yarn substitutions: If you prefer a more textured look, consider using cotton yarn or a yarn blend with some wool for added warmth.

– Gauge tips: While gauge isn’t critical for this project, aim for a tight tension to prevent stuffing from showing through the stitches.

– Safety considerations: Since this is a pillow intended for home decor, it’s safe for all ages. Just ensure the stuffing is securely enclosed.
