Notes

This time I knit in the eyes (intarsia-style, just like the heart, because I get frustrated embroidering eyes on toys) instead of using riveted safety-eyes, so the toy will be one hundred percent baby-safe. Also I picked up ten stitches around each shoulder and knit the arms right on instead of making them separately, because I hate sewing. I wish I could work out how to make the legs from the top down as well, but I’m not clever enough to reverse-engineer the foot and still have it look the same.

I picked up and knit the ear bolts right in as well, because sewing them on was making me angry. :-)
