Make pieces in the order presented
Not all yarns are created equal! Yarns listed as the same weight (e.g. worsted) frequently differ in size and stretch. Knitcraft Cotton Blend DK is on the thicker end of DK weight yarns.
To change color, take the last yarn over of st with new color. Continue working with new color.
My favorite method of attaching pieces is the Amigurumi Seamless Join Method by June Gilbank of Planet June.
