Me: aaagh I have so much shit to do Sunday. Need to make sure I stay on track.

Me approximately 2 hours later: made a guy.

Made a snail yesterday too actually. Turns out it's very easy to make a terrible snail. His name is Snorbert (short for Snail Norbert, of course).

The sheep's name is southdown, for anyone curious, due to incredible resemblance between him and the southdown in my Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook.

Some baby pictures.

Made my very own tiny dungeon meshi dragon plush, that’s based on the version that only appears in the very last chapter for five pages and then is never seen again. I think it turned out pretty well.

I used this pattern to make it with some minor tweaks to the body, tails and legs and then just made some tiny cones for the horns at the end. If anyone would be intersted I might post the alterations and where to apply them but go check out the original pattern! I stuffed it both with acylic stuffing but also some plastic pellets for a bit of extra weight. The eyes are done with french knots.

Going to be adding manga spoilers below the read more with pictures of what I tried to get it to look like.

I'm almost sad I have to give him to my cousin's baby, he's so cute. And the ears and face are only a little lopsided, which is a big win for me

When you start knitting stuffed animals (or anything for that matter), it’s inevitable that there are gonna be some mistakes. Luckily, I've made a ton of these mistakes for you, and now can pass on my knowledge to you.

For more tips for plushie knitting, check out the full blog post!

(Text for the infographic below the cut)

Common Stuffie Knitting Mistakes

01 - faces and embroidery: Probably the hardest part of making stuffed animals by hand is getting the face right. Don’t be afraid to take out the face and start again if you don’t get it right the first time. It’s shockingly easy to end up with a stuffie that looks sad or upset for some reason, but it’s just as easy to take it out and get them looking happy and ready to be cuddled.

02 - stuffing and polyfill: The best way to avoid lumpy plushies is to stuff with small pieces of polyfill at a time. That way you can shape as you go. You also want to stuff pretty densely. Over time, stuffing will compress and the stuffed animal will feel thinner than how it did when you first filled it. If you don’t stuff tightly, your stuffed animal may end up feeling a little limp later on.

03 - row gauge: Row gauge is just as important as stitch gauge. Sometimes with other projects you can fudge the row gauge a little bit and it’ll be okay. With stuffed animals, the ratio between the row gauge and the stitch gauge determines the shape of your animal, and if your row gauge is off, you can end up with a stuffie that’s weirdly stretched or kind of squished looking.

04 - seaming: The most important bit is to leave a long tail when you cast on or bind off, so you’re not fighting with a short thread while piecing things together. You’ll also want to seam things in the right order. It’s much harder to line the head up straight with the limbs than it is to line up the limbs with the head. If you want to avoid having your stuffie looking to one side, seam the limbs on after you’ve done the head. Trust me.

This bunny has been dubbed the “Strawberry Todoroki” bunny after Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Acadamia hahah~ It’s honestly one of my favourite lil bunnies I’ve made!! Like!! The soft pink AND the white?? Absolute perfection uwu✨

Getting the stripes to line up was way harder than I anticipated, lol, but tada! Thinking about giving him a bowtie to make the blue stripe for his neck stand out more.
