In order to successfully stuf
your knitted toy, it is essential
that you tease out your
stuing beforehand. This
will prevent unsightly lumps
and bumps. Another tip is
to take your time. You need
to strike the perfect balance
between over and under
stuing your project, so don’t
be afraid to start again if your
toy doesn’t sit right. Finally,
you should make use of a
smaller needle, as this will
help you to reach awkward
areas such as feet and nose.
