Cuddly and sweet, Marshmallow is such a treat! This adorable stuffed friend is plump and soft as the namesake confectionary. At nearly 20” tall, he’s the ideal snuggle buddy and would make a great gift for any little one in your life. Worked in velvety Bella Chenille Big Glimmer, Marshmallow sports an iridescent glimmer and is super quick to knit. We’ve given him a cozy little sweater in the lighter companion yarn, Bella Chenille. It’s the perfect pattern for holiday cheer!

PATTERN NOTES
Marshmallow is knit in the round from the bottom up, beginning with his legs. Each leg is worked separately and then stitches are then cast on to join the legs and create his body. The body is worked in the round up to the neck, then his head is created. His arms and ears are knit separately and sewn to the body and head. His sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up.

Please note that the Marshmallow pattern makes the most of one ball of Bella Chenille Big Glimmer and will use nearly the entire skein. You will need to unravel your swatch and take extra care to be mindful of gauge.
