Finishing Touch
To achieve a professional look, I recommend lightly steaming the finished piece with a steam iron (holding it slightly above the fabric). This helps the stitches settle and defines the shape.

This is an excellent project for utilizing leftover yarn, and it can be easily customized in different sizes by varying the yarn weight.
