Finishing tips

  • Use a tapestry needle to sew the seam neatly and to weave in ends securely.
  • For a snugger fit, choose a slightly firmer yarn or smaller needles and check gauge.
  • Optional decorations (bow, ribbon flower) can be sewn on the front — avoid small items that could be a choking hazard for very young babies.
