Hello, thank you very much for your words and I am very happy and fascinated to participate in this wonderful contest that opens a space for those like me who love crochet. Congratulations on the initiative! As for your question, I told you to put enough filling and compressed it in such a way that the neck would be hard and strong and it turned out very well. It is also recommended to place a small wooden rod and fill it around or a thin silicone bar. I love my tools and I love to pamper them and always try to do something new for them. Thanks again foxyspirit.
