Toys from the Toybox
I designed this package to match up with the Midi Cuddles Blankies. Think how lovely it would be to gift a Cuddles Blankie with a matching toy. The leg/body pieces for all character are the same stitch/row count. The lamb has it’s own directions as he is mostly knitted in garter stitch.
If these are being given to a baby I would suggest knitting these with nice soft cotton Aran/worsted weight yarn but I have had great results using acrylic and wool yarns too.
For an older child/adult of course you can use a variety of textured, furry/fuzzy yarns. There are so many readily available today that we are quite spoilt for choice. Please see yarn suggestions below to see what I have already tried.
If you wish to use double knit please lower your needle size to 3mm/3US. Your character will be a little smaller.
The eyes are embroidered; I have included details in the step-by-step assembly guide to help you. You could of course use safety eyes; I would suggest 15mm in size.
Yarn Suggestions:
I have used Drops Paris cotton Aran and Lily’s Sugar and Cream solids. Both of these yarns have a lovely array of colour choices. For the stripy cats I used Canon Simply Soft Camo, (Snow and Woodland).
