When I first saw this photo- I thought that I had downloaded it from the web somewhere 'for inspiration' for something to knit/create in the future. However, upon closer inspection- I recognized the background as one of the couch pillows that I had made for me when I lived in Seoul, South Korea. I then remembered that I had knitted them for a toddler that I knew at the time. I probably started knitting the guy on the far right (in overalls) because he looks a bit 'special' for lack of a better word? His overall bib is a bit too loose for the area and his little baseball cap has the brim flipped up. His face is flatter and one of his eyes is a bit wonky. He was clearly the 'test knit' and the others improved as a result. I was able to make the legs/arms and even neck appear by simply using a big needle and the yarn stitched through all layers and pulled tight (or just wrapped around the neck area for the neck). I think that they were about 6-9 inches tall? I just used durable acrylic for them. I'm sure that there are patterns for something like this out there? I do remember starting at the feet and just increased or decreased as I saw fit. I did some crocheting on the little girl's skirt to make it lacy and open. |
