Notes

The bobble arms and legs just didn’t look right when I finished them and got them on. My tension was just too tight so they came out proportionately too small. I was also told that his eyes made him look evil, so when I tweaked the pattern for the arms, I decided to go with making them folded.

My arms:

CO 4 st leaving a 6 in tail.
Work as for I-cord for 10 rounds.
Kfb all stitches.
Knit 5 rows. Stuff lightly if desired.
Ssk, k2tog around.
Cut, leaving a 3 in tail. Draw tail through remaining stitches and weave in or use to tack down ‘hands’ to the body so the arms stay folded if needed. Use CO tail to attach arms to sides.

Legs:
CO 12 st leaving 6 in tail.
Working in the round and taking care not to twist, knit 8 rows. Break while leaving a 3 in tail. Draw tail through remaining stitches and pull tight. Weave in end and lightly stuff just the tip of the foot.
Fold CO edge flat and sew to bottom of body so the stuffed end sticks out from underneath.
