Selina Silk & Wilbur Webb
Introducing Wilbur Webb and Selina the Spider, delightful knitted toys designed to help your little ones embrace their love for insects while eliminating the fear of creepy crawlies! As a proud new grandparent, I wanted to create unique, huggable creatures for my grandson, and he absolutely adores Wilbur! After seeing how much joy it brought him, I decided to expand my collection and knit Selina, ensuring we have both boy and girl options available for every child.
But that’s not all! I have exciting plans for snails, too! Both Wilbur and Selina feature long, flexible legs that are perfect for pudgy little hands to grab and explore. They make a wonderful alternative to traditional stuffed animals like bunnies, fostering creativity and a sense of adventure in young minds.
These adorable knitted spiders are not only fun to make but are also fantastic stash busters, requiring less than 25g of yarn per color. You can easily customize their appearance using any color palette you desire, making each spider a one-of-a-kind creation! Plus, for added sensory delight, feel free to insert a rattle or squeaker to enhance your little one’s play experience.
Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers a fun and rewarding project for all skill levels. Join me in celebrating the beauty of nature and inspiring a love for all creatures, big and small, with Wilbur and Selina. Visit our website today to discover this free knitting pattern and many more unique creations that inspire joy and creativity along the way!
