Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with Stanley's personality by trying different color combinations - imagine a purple berry or even a rainbow version! You could also vary the leaf style by making them more ruffled or adding texture stitches. For a winter twist, I sometimes make Stanley in cream and pink for a sweet strawberry and cream theme. The beauty of this pattern is how easily it adapts to your creative vision while maintaining that irresistible charm.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the body before closing - stuff firmly as you work the decrease rounds ✗ Making the magic ring too loose - pull tight to prevent holes at the bottom ✗ Placing safety eyes too far apart - they should be about 1 stitch apart for the best kawaii effect ✗ Not maintaining consistent tension - keep stitches even for a smooth, professional finish
