Neck shaping: The wire insert is highly recommended for maintaining the elegant curve
Wing attachment: Sew through multiple points on each wing for security
Stuffing: Don’t overstuff the neck or it won’t curve gracefully
Tissue opening: Test fit your tissue box and adjust the opening size in Round 23 if needed
Blocking: Lightly steam or wet block the wings for crisp feather definition

This graceful swan brings elegance and charm to any space while keeping tissues beautifully accessible. The combination of soft colors and dimensional details creates a piece that’s both functional and decorative. Happy crocheting! 🦢✨
