Finishing Tips

• Stuff firmly but evenly to keep a smooth egg shape; add small amounts of fiberfill at a time.
• Keep stitches tight when using velvet yarn to prevent the stuffing from showing.
• Use the stitch marker to track rounds and keep shaping symmetrical.
• Weave ends securely inside the egg so they are not visible on the shiny surface.
