Frequently asked questions

How is the body constructed?

It's a simple straight tube worked at 7 sc around for most rounds. You change colors to create the Siamese point coloring, then leave a long tail on the last round to sew it closed.

Should I start with 7 or 8 stitches in the magic ring?

Either works — the pattern notes 'MR 7 or 8.' Use 7 for a slimmer charm or 8 if you prefer a touch more room; the body rounds settle to 7 sc.

How do I finish the charm?

On the final round, pick up the back loops only (BLO) and cinch/sew the opening closed with the long tail, then attach a bow and a charm ring.
