My knitting guild is making wacky stuffed toys for a local children’s hospital and this was my offering. I’ve had the idea in my head for a long time and am finally making it and writing down the pattern.

This is made to be about 12x12” square. I used a $1.99 pillow form from IKEA, but you can certainly just use poly-fil stuffing. There is crocheting involved only if you choose to crochet the eyes and mouth. If you’d rather not crochet anything, just use cut out felt pieces and sew them on.

If you make one of these, please consider donating it to a local charity for a child in need.

Please feel free to use this pattern for your personal use or as a charity project, but please give credit to the designer and do not sell items made from this pattern.

Thanks,
Sarah Scott
