[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Stuffing

Fri Dec 8 23:21:27 UTC 2023

Henry, 
The book is called Crocheted Cute Critters, DB111928. It has animals A to Z, literally. H is Hippo and E is elephant, so I guess you are out of luck!
😊
Deborah

Hi Deborah and Everyone, are there any horses or Eagles or deers in that book?

Tracy and all
I'm about to make some more pigs, which I knitted some years back, and remember using a knitting needle to poke down the stuffing into skinny spaces like the tail. To avoid lumpiness, it's probably better to go with small chunks at a time.  
By the way, is the cardinal you are making from that BARD book, Cute Crochet Critters? I have been wanting to make items from that book, but have been struggling with the magic ring stich! Each pattern begins with magic ring.  
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Tammy.  Thanks for the warning about overstuffing.  I hadn't thought about that.
I don't know about beautiful, but cute.  The head is big in proportion to the body.  I guess that's an amigurumi thing. 
I've finished the body and now I'm making all the other stuff, like the mouth, beak, crest, tail, wings and feet.  Then I have to attach them.
That's the hard part.
Tracy

That sounds just fine.  Pay attention and do not over stuff it.  The filling will push the small spaces open and you may be able to see it. You do not want it to poke out.

Sounds absolutely beautiful!
Smile!

When I'm stuffing a stuffed animal, I pull off a handful of polyfill, stuff it in, and repeat.  Is that the best way, or should I be pulling out big hunks at a time?  The thing I'm stuffing is maybe 2 inches across, about the size of when I put my tall finger and thumb together to make a circle.

I'm starting to stuff my crocheted cardinal, whose quite a chubby rascal.

Tracy
