Plushie Friend

Adorable stuffed plushie inspired by my Monster Friend plushie pattern - a variation on the same theme. He’s about 15” tall not including his legs, hat or antennae, and a little over 11” across (about 22.5” measured around the middle) - a perfect toy or pillow. The pattern is fun and not too difficult. A great gift and you can change up the colors as desired to match holiday themes, sports teams, déco, personal preference.

Worked in Soft Worsted Weight Yarn, 6 colors and small amounts of White and Black. I used Vanna’s Choice*: (approx. amounts) Colonial Blue, 40 yds; Mustard, 25 yds; Scarlet, 25 yds; Kelly Green, 25 yds; Terracotta, 25 yds.; Eggplant, 25 yds; White, 10 yds; Black, 12 yds.

*NOTE: This yarn may be discontinued. Suggested Substitutes: Red Heart With Love, Red Heart Soft, Brava, Mighty Stitch. All washable, similar color choices and gauge.

Some experience helpful: basic stitches, some shaping, changing color, hand sewing pieces, some embroidery (how to link in pattern).
