Spheroid and Oblong
I like making these little guys with sock yarn on tiny little needles. That way they can ride around in a pocket or purse. But, using bulky yarn and larger needles, you’ll end up with a bigger, more huggable critter.
Feel free to play around with the shape of your Spheroid, too. Adding more even knit rows between the increase and decrease rows will make your guy more oblong. Removing the knit rows will make him more UFO-shaped.
Remember, if you’re making this little guy for a kid under the age of 3 (or anyone who is dumb enough to eat buttons) forgo button or beaded eyes. Safety eyes, while they’re safer than buttons, are still not 100% for itty-bitty kids.
