Paul
A number of years ago, I started thinking about the comforting properties of stuffed animals. Young children are soothed by the touch and feel of their squishy friends, but I too, discovered the value of having a miniature companion with me on the days I just didn’t feel up to facing the world. I made Paul and started taking him with me whenever I left the house. He sat in my pocket, and when I felt stressed or anxious, I held him in the palm of my hand and gazed upon his supportive smile. And on the days I feel at my best, he’s still an awesome travel buddy!
Yarn:
- Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Solids - scrap amounts of body and hat colour (or alternative worsted weight yarn)
Note: gauge is not important and yarn/needle size can be changed, resulting in a different finished product size. I recommend using the suggested needle size for your yarn to make the hat, and going down 2 sizes to make the body.
Needles:
- 3.0 mm DPNs or circular needles (for magic loop)
- 5.0 mm DPNs or circular needles (for magic loop)
Notions:
- Darning needle
- Embroidery needle and thread
- Plastic Safety Eyes (optional)
- Polyester stuffing
- Poly pellets (or beans/rice) for weight
This pattern requires knowledge of:
