Tips

The crochet chain stitch is needed here because it helps us to start new rounds, maintain height, create even edges, and keep our pattern structured neatly without any gaps.

The problem I have with stitches when crocheting is the same as with regular “missing stitches.”
Every novice crocheter should use the marking button (yellow in this article) right after the first stitch is executed.
Also, as pointed out in the article, blue marking buttons should be set right after the last stitch is performed.

Using our fingers or a small tool, we carefully fill the hole on Hello Kitty’s body with fiberfill, ensuring to stuff it into all the edges and corners. It is important that we spread out the stuffing properly so that the body is shaped, firm, and soft enough to be cuddly. This step is important to help maintain the rounded form which is so adorable on Hello Kitty.
