   • Angle them slightly outward in a “V” or spread position
   • Overlap bases slightly at center
   • Secure firmly with matching green yarn
3. Attach berries:
   • Cluster 3 red berries at the center where leaves meet
   • Position in triangular arrangement
   • Sew securely through both berry and bootie
   • Ensure berries sit on top of leaves for dimension

✨ FINISHING TOUCHES

💡 PRO TIPS FOR PHOTO ACCURACY

1. Sole shaping:
   • Work tightly for firm sole
   • The BLO round creates the crucial fold
   • Never fasten off between sole and body
2. Red headband texture:
   • The 3rd loop hdc creates horizontal ribbing
   • Keep tension consistent for even texture
   • This is the signature look of these booties
3. Face positioning:
   • Mark the center front before adding face
   • Eyes should be on Rounds 7-8
   • Keep face elements close together for cute proportions
4. Holly berries:
   • Don’t overstuff – just a pinch of filling
   • Small berries look more realistic
   • Cluster tightly at leaf bases
5. White yarn choice:
   • Bright white works best for snowman look
   • Avoid cream or off-white
   • Cotton or cotton-blend recommended for structure
6. Symmetry:
   • Make both booties identical
   • Use stitch counts carefully
   • Mirror holly placement exactly

Problem: Sole curling up

Problem: Red band not textured enough

• Solution: Ensure you’re working in 3rd loop (horizontal bar), not back loop

Problem: Holly won’t stay in place

• Solution: Sew through multiple stitches, anchor at several points
