Top knit tips

Before stuffing your knits, tease out the stuffing as this will help to prevent unsightly lumps and bumps. When stuffing such small pieces, it is a good idea to use a blunt needle to reach the corners and awkward areas. Although you don’t want your knitted pieces to be too flat, try to avoid overstuffing, as it’s important that the white fibres don’t show through the stitches.

Make sure the seam of the wreath cover is at the back of the ring.
