    Hello! I'm a little bit confused with the arms since they don't look like the ones on your bear and in the picture of the bear on the sheet (at the top of the tutorial), I counted at least 6 rounds?

crochet pattern | sturdy miffy glasses holder

I needed my holders to be sturdy & protective, so I've written down my process of making these cases more durable! ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡ NOTE: I alternate where my increase stitches are as I work along the curve part of the oval base to give a smoother curve appearance. For example instead of (1sc, inc) → (2sc, inc ) → (3sc, inc) → (4sc, inc ) for consecutive rows, I do (1sc, inc) → ( inc , 2sc) → (3sc, inc) → ( inc , 4sc) Either way works just as fine! For the pattern, I'll keep it the traditional way, but know that you have the option to alternate your increase stitches if you like the look of a smoother curve. I'll mark the rows that I alternate inc with a * if you want try it my way! Materials I Used White acrylic yarn, medium weight (4) double stranded Black or brown acrylic yarn (for face details) stuffing (for ea...
