The allure of Jess Hutchinson’s knit toy designs (Rav link) is that they are simple, yet so cute. Take Squarey for instance:
Two 12 x 12 squares, sewn together with arms and legs, eyes and mouth around a pillow form: An anthropomorphic pillow doll! Squarey is a gift for my niece V, who just celebrated her 2nd birthday. V also just got a baby sister – Baby Lulu was born on Friday! That means I am auntie 4x over, and I just love it! Hopefully V will be willing to share Squarey doll with her sister when they cuddle up to read or watch a movie.
I used some sample yarns that I received from the good people at Red Heart -Debbie Stoller’s Stitch Nation Washable Ewe worsted weight wool, and a few worsted weight scraps of my own to make Squarey’s stripes. Arms and legs are filled with bamboo polyfill. Squarey is soft and comfy and after making him, I kind of want one of my own now. Would make a nice computer chair pillow!
So adorable! I want one too! The stripes at the bottom are just perfect!
Oh my goodness! I just wanna reach through the computer and give Squarey a hug. I’m guessing that Squarey will be much loved by your niece.
totes adorbs!!
TOO CUTE! I have that pattern in the knitting binder somewhere! It can see her hugging it a TON!
Very cute. I’m trying to come up with my own toy patterns to make for friends. I love simple ideas like these.
Adorable! I’m sure it’ll get lots of love!
Adorable! And congratulations on being an aunt again
Oh my heavens, how cute!!! Love those colors! I think I need to knit a square…
He is adorable. I want one too!
