Color Changes: Carry the unused yarn color inside your stitches (Tapestry technique) during the striped torso rounds to avoid messy loose threads inside the doll.

Pro Tip
When cutting the stars from felt, use a paper template as a guide. Pin the paper star to the felt and cut around it with sharp embroidery scissors to ensure all five points of the star are symmetrical and sharp.
