Wanted to see how fancy textured exterior would look. Not too bad. Worked from top down - like a beanie - increased from a magic-ring type cast on - increased every row x 3 and then every other row until about 50-60 stitches… then started intertwining cables with seed stitch background. 1/2 stitches for each leg with a few shared stitches for the ‘crotch’ - gradually decreasing for each ‘foot’. Arms created with a mitten-type construction, then decreased to about 6-7 stitches and I-cord arms. Lightly stuffed and attached at sides. Finished with nose (link). bulgy eyes (link), and curlicue hair (link). So much fun!
