| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Pipe cleaner
Ruler Scissors 1 to 2 jumbo cotton balls, unrolled 3 to 5 feet of skin-colored worsted-weight yarn 8 to 10 feet of bulky-weight, blanket-colored yarn (we used Lamb's Pride, by the Brown Sheep Company) Tacky glue 5-mm sequin for eyes | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: yarn | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Fold a pipe cleaner in half and twist the folded end to
form a head stem, as you did with the adult figures. |
| 2. |  Twist the pipe cleaners about ¾ inch down to make a
head loop, and 1 inch below that for a body loop. Trim the ends
and twist for a foot stem. |
| 3. |  Wrap the head and body with unrolled cotton. |
| 4. |  Tie the center of the skin-colored yarn around the neck and
wrap, double-thick, up to the head stem and back (glue if
needed). Tie at the neck as with the adults. Fold down the head
and foot stems. |
| 5. |  Tie one end of the blanket yarn around the neck. Wrap the
body and head as shown. Use glue if needed. Tie off the yarn at
the neck, trim it, and tuck in the ends. To make eyes, cut the
sequin in half and glue in place.
