Frequently asked questions
How are the burger layers made?
All layers start from the same 30-stitch disc (6 sc in MR increased over 5 rounds). Lettuce gets a ch-3 ruffle, tomato and patty grow to 36 sts, cheese is a flat sc square, and the bottom bun is two discs slip-stitched together.
Do I need safety eyes?
No — the original skips bought eye and nose parts and embroiders the whole tiger face with thread.
What are the ears made of?
Split the yarn into two plies and use a 1.8 mm hook: 5 sc in a ring, then change color and increase. Sew them between rounds 4-5 of the head.
