Lambie & Doggie
Introducing the perfect soft stuffed toy that will provide comfort in times of need — an ideal companion for toddlers or a thoughtful gift for friends who experience anxiety while flying! This charming 5-inch toy is not only easy to knit, but can be completed in just one day, making it a quick project that you can clutch in your hand whenever you require a little extra comfort. This versatile pattern can also be transformed into an adorable dog if your recipient finds solace in a canine companion.
The design prioritizes softness for toddlers, ensuring it's gentle to hug and hold. For older children or adults, the legs can be easily stiffened with a pipe cleaner, adding structure while still remaining cuddle-friendly. Knit using bulky yarn on size 9 double-pointed needles, this delightful project works up quickly and is satisfying to create.
The featured model, lovingly named Lambie, is crafted using just 1 ball of Knit Picks Twirl in Cream, but feel free to substitute any bulky-weight boucle yarn for a similar soft texture. For Doggie, we used bulky weight handspun natural brown wool, but the possibilities are endless! Enhance this project with additional details by using fingering weight yarn or embroidery floss to create cute facial features like eyes, noses, and hooves.
This quick and comforting knitting pattern is perfect not only for little friends but also for big ones who could use a small buddy. Whether you're a seasoned knitting expert or just starting out, this project promises to bring joy and comfort to anyone in need.
