Whiff
Witzend your toys always have their own personality. One of my craft group friends knits toys to give to bereaved children the firm favourite is a very soft teddy with closed eyes . Facial features are always sewn so safe for the smallest child. She has been asked to make 50.
Thank you everybody for kind comments. 🙂
Is that for a particular charity, Whiff? If so, I’ve got a mega-stash to use up!
I used to make little teds for Knit for Peace - a very easy pattern* on the website, knitted all in one piece. But since the first lockdown my efforts have all gone to Knit for Nowt.
*the only trouble with that pattern, was that the eyes and nose were embroidered in, and it was very difficult (for me anyway) to fasten off the darker yarn securely without it showing. So I’d fasten off at its neck, and then knit a colourful little scarf (cast on about 50, cast off) and sew it on.
