Before You Begin: Important Tips

Read the entire pattern first. Understanding the full construction process helps prevent mistakes and ensures smooth assembly.

Take care of yourself. Crocheting should be enjoyable, not exhausting. Remember to:

• Stretch regularly during your crafting session
• Stay hydrated with water or your favorite beverage
• Take breaks when needed

Your wellbeing matters just as much as your finished project!
