- WORK IN CONTINUOUS ROUNDS. DO NOT JOIN OR TURN UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED.
- IT WOULD BE WISE TO USE A STITCH MARKER AND PLACE IT IN THE FIRST STITCH OF EACH ROUND TO MARK THE BEGINNING OF IT.
- LEAVE EACH PIECE A LONG TAIL FOR SEWING.
- INSTEAD OF WEAVING IN YARN TAILS AFTER SEWING THE PIECES TOGETHER, PULL SOME OF THEM OUT AT THE PROPER PLACE FOR THE TAIL AND SOME AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD. CUT THEM INTO 1 CM LONG AND UNTWIST THE YARN USING THE DARNING NEEDLE AS A COMB.
