I used the basic idea of Sahrit’s design, but then I modified it to my own purposes. I knitted the basic block shape all in one piece in stockinette, using a purl ridge to denote the “corners”. The inside of the blocks is a 3”x 6” piece of chair foam. My dear friend MaryZona crocheted the round pieces that make up the tops of the pegs. I picked up around the edges of the circular piece to create the sides of the pegs. These were stuffed with fiberfill and sewed tightly to one side of the flat knitted block before I wrapped the foam piece with the knitted piece. I used a mattress stitch to sew the block together. After all the construction was done, I dampened the finished block a little, and then tossed them in the dryer on low temp with some the Hubster’s jeans. This tightened up the fabric to the foam block nicely!

I’m very happy with the outcome, and I hope baby Harlan enjoys playing with them. Perhaps when he’s older he can learn to juggle with them!
