(Most of this pattern will be made in separate pieces, and then stitched together later. This will make the squarish shape of the head and body. I created this robot for my one-year old nephew, so I stayed away from using buttons on the outside (choke hazard). But you can use whatever you wish for details. I also made 2 different faces. One that looks more robotic and one that looks nicer. The way this is constructed, I made it so the head swivels, the arms stretch, and the legs bend. Somewhat of an interactive toy. I added tubes that go from the back to the head and body which is optional. The great thing about this is you can be as creative as you want.)
