What to focus on
Compare changes to yarn and hook with changes to the stitch instructions themselves. Make a sample and measure the result before committing to a large project. This Reel introduces the topic rather than providing a complete rewritten pattern.
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.
