Seven Softies from Simple Squares

Discover the joy of knitting with this delightful collection of seven charming soft toys, each crafted from simple knitted squares! This comprehensive pattern includes easy-to-follow instructions for creating an adorable owl, a playful cat, a cute sausage dog, a cheerful bird or chicken, an enchanting penguin, a cuddly koala, and a festive snowman. You can customize these delightful designs using any yarn you prefer – our sample projects were made with 8 ply/DK yarn and 3.5 mm (US 4) needles, resulting in squares that measure 12 cm. The final toys range in height from 11 to 14 cm, making them the perfect size for babies and toddlers. Feeling creative? You can also use smaller squares with thinner yarn to make festive Christmas tree decorations or whimsical mobiles. This flexible pattern allows for endless possibilities, encouraging you to experiment with different yarn types and sizes to suit your personal style. The pattern includes detailed sewing instructions, clear photos, and helpful diagrams to guide you through the process. It is specifically designed for novice knitters who are comfortable with basic knitting techniques. To support you, we have included visual guides on how to perform a kfb increase and a k2tog decrease, just in case you need a refresher. Additionally, the sewing stitches used to assemble the toys are explained through a comprehensive photo tutorial at the end of the pattern.
