Introducing the perfect gift for new babies and kids of all ages: a delightful and cuddly squirrel plushie that's not only adorable but also incredibly functional! This soft and comforting toy offers all the cozy warmth of a favorite blanket while featuring marvelous textures that will soothe little ones. Compact enough to be easily carried around, it’s the ideal companion for infants and toddlers alike. This knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to explore Magic Loop techniques. Your charming squirrel begins with Judy’s Magic Cast-on at the tail end of the body and is designed to be knit-in-the-round, beautifully finished at the head with the Kitchener stitch for a seamless look. The body is designed to be unstuffed, adding to its cuddliness, but optional stuffing can be added for a squishier finish. You will pick up stitches for the adorable tail, which is knit in-the-round too, utilizing two strands of yarn and larger needles for a plush outcome. Next, stitches are picked up for each of the four paws, crafted in-the-round for a uniform and sturdy structure. The head is also knit in the round, where you can add delightful face details using duplicate stitch following an easy-to-read chart. The head is lightly stuffed to give it shape and securely closed using the Kitchener stitch. Finally, stitches are picked up for the cute ears, completing the look of this charming toy. Once you securely graft the head to the body, you’ll find that you are all done with this wonderful project! Say goodbye to the hassle of sewing up tiny pieces, as this pattern keeps everything in one seamless piece, providing a satisfying knitting experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this squirrel plushie pattern makes for a delightful project that will surely become a treasured gift for any little one.
