Crochet & Knitting Crafty Tip

When making shapes using increases and decreases, be sure to gently stretch the item as you are making it.

By stretching the piece slightly, the increases and decreases will slide into place better and lie flatter. Remember to stretch and not yank as you don't want to stretch the stitches so much that the stuffing will show through.

Crochet & Knitting Crafty Tip

When using an iron to steam out curls or stiffen a piece, do not allow the full weight of the iron to rest one your crochet or you will flatten the texture of the stitches. Hold the iron so that it only touches the crochet.
