Pattern Correction & Tips
- Correction: The video sometimes refers to “chains” instead of “single crochet.” Be sure you’re making sc for body rounds.
- Tip: If you find the “magic ring” difficult, begin with 2 ch and work into the first ch instead.
- Tip: To make your cone more stable, you can insert a small piece of cardboard at the bottom (optional).
