Crochet Tips:

1. Pull slip stitch tightly when working in rounds to ensure neat, firm stitches and crisp details in your finished piece.
2. Use stitch markers to track the beginning of each round - this helps you stay organized.
3. For the color change part of the crochet, change the color on the unfinished stitch at the end of the previous round, the details are better and the transition is more natural.

Assembly Tips:

1. Ear assembly and stitching needs to be symmetrical and consistent on both sides.
2. When connecting and stitching the head to the body, align with the center line to avoid crooked stitching.
3. The pink blush on the cheeks should be applied very lightly - less is more for a soft, natural look.
