| LEVI - the SUPER EASY LOVIE |
I hardly ever make toys as I am rubbish at the faces! This is my first attempt at a lovie. I am sure you can do far better - but here at least you have somewhere to start.
LEVI the Lovie
Requires ~
DK yarn – I used a cotton mix yarn so that this Lovie would wash easily!
A little polyester stuffing
4mm needles for the main part
3.5mm needles for the head – toys are generally knitted on a size smaller than usual needle to make a more dense fabric which prevents the stuffing showing through.
Cast on 2sts
Row 1: Kfb, k1
Row 2: K1, kfb, knit to end
Repeat Row 2 until you are happy with the size (I made mine 9")
Next Row: K2, k2tog, knit to end
Repeat the last row until you have 10sts left on your needle
Make the head ~
Knit 1 row
Purl 1 row
S1, kfb, knit to last 3sts, kfb, k2
Purl 1 row
Repeat the last 2 rows 6 times more (24sts)
Work 14 rows in stocking stitch (knit one row, purl one row)
S1, s1, k1, psso,knit to last 3sts, k2tog, k2
Purl 1 row
Repeat the last 2 rows 6 times more (10sts)
Cast off
Join the sides of the head
Add features to the face
Make the Ears ~
Using a length of the yarn used for the head, create ears by sewing a line across the top of the head at each side.
Stuff the head with polyester toy filling
Sew the gap at the neck closed securely
