Stuffed
animals are popular with all children, and when they’re homemade, they’re something truly special!
Here are a few suggestions from my shop:
Mauzi the Cuddly Cat
is especially suitable as a baby’s first stuffed animal, since her body is designed like a comfort blanket—it isn’t stuffed. Mauzi also makes a great project for using up leftover yarn, as she’s crocheted with three different types of yarn: plush yarn and cotton for the body, and thin chenille yarn for the head and paws. The face is embroidered.

The
Teddy Cuddle
is also great for babies, as its body has space for a small grain pillow that can be heated in the microwave. Its warmth helps soothe tummy aches and tension—or simply warms up the crib.
Alpaca Pamina
is cuddly soft because she’s crocheted from plush yarn. To make the stitches easier to see while crocheting, a color-coordinated cotton thread is worked into the project. It also gives the little animal extra stability. The saddle and harness were made from cotton yarn.
