What to focus on
Pay attention to where each new increase falls relative to the previous round. Keep the required total number of increases while changing their placement as demonstrated. Compare the outline after several rounds, rather than judging a single round.
Practice with Andy
Play the video once to see the result, then replay it in short sections as you work. Keep a small sample nearby to test the technique before using it on your finished plushie.
