I am working this beautiful watering can tissue holder. Can you enlighten me as to HOW the spout and 2 handles will stay rigid once the pattern is completed. TIA Dianne Turnbull

Hi there! It seems to me that the tension of the stitches should hold the handle and spout upright naturally. If the stitches were too lose the handle would not stay up. If you're experiencing this issue, I'd suggest trying a smaller crochet hook to try and stiffen those stitches. I hope that helps!
