With the baby stuffed animals shown below, you can have a lot of fun experimenting with different materials, patterns, and colors. This gives them a very special texture that piques the baby’s curiosity, stimulates their senses, and encourages them to play with their toy again and again.
The head, ears, paws, and tail are crocheted from soft chenille yarn using single crochet stitches. The body is worked in strips. Here we use plush yarn and cotton yarn. Thanks to the double crochet pattern, it’s easy to see the stitches even with the plush yarn.
The inner part of the ears is made from matching fabric scraps. You can sew on cotton fabric, jersey, velour, or corduroy here. The nose and eyes are, of course, embroidered on.
