I jumped at the chance to test knit this for Anna of Mochimochi Land when she asked for testers. This little monster will be the perfect gift for my little monster. :-) Even though I had a tight deadline for this project, it really didn't take long to whip this up.
Everything is knit in the round and the arms and legs are done in I-cord. No seaming! The arms and legs were a bit fiddly in the beginning because you have to pick up stitches from the already stuffed body. You can also just sew the arms and legs on afterwards, but I like the fact that there is no sewing if you pick up the stitches.
And if you are not into all that lovey Valentine's Day stuff, Squoze (the little guy) makes a perfect voodoo doll for jabbing needles into. Um, don't ask me how I know that.Melody saw me working on it and she was absolutely in love with it. She kept bending over to kiss Hug's head. I can't wait until she sees the completed doll on V-day.
Pattern: Hugs and Squoze by Anna Hrachovec
Needles: US 5 / 3.75 mm
Yarn: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in color: Rose and Dusty Rose. Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Grey Heather
Size: 6 inches tall
