When attaching the head, work the last round of stitches in the remaining loops from the neck. 5. Tail is worked in the remaining loops from Rounds 8 & 9. 6.

Tips for Washing Super Saver •• Use gentle fabric detergent, such as Ivory®, in warm water. •• Use less than half of the suggested amount of liquid fabric softener, as too much softener will cause fiber to stretch. •• Tumble dry on low and remove from the dryer before completely dry. •• To keep fringe or pompoms looking their best, handwash, lay flat to dry.
