Snoopy!!

After I finished Olivia the other day, my husband asked if I could possibly make him a Snoopy. I said sure! I didn't figure it would be too hard. It wasn't!

I designed the head, ears, and nose myself. The arms and legs and body are modifications from the bear pattern I've been using designed by Edith Molina. I'm SO SO PLEASED with how Snoopy came out and my husband is thrilled. I guess when he was little he had a big stuffed Snoopy and when he was about 5 years old, his mom got rid of it. :( So when I showed him tonight his new teeny tiny Snoopy, he was very excited.


Snoopy took me about a day to make. I started him last night when we got home from Rockford and I finished him just a little while ago.

For his body I used Bernat Baby Fingering weight yarn in White and for the black I used DMC embroidery floss.





I did a lot of research looking at pictures of Snoopy from all different angles to try and get everything just perfect. (Gee what a surprise, considering I'm a perfectionist to the point of being annoying.) The black spot above his tail was hand embroidered using a satin stitch. There is a little tiny tail back there, which was crocheted in one piece with the body (much easier than trying to sew it on later!)



Snoopy was done in the same way the previous two bears were: 5 way jointing so he's completely poseable. I put florist's wire in his arms so that they'll be individually poseable, also.









He came out just a tiny bit smaller than Opal and Olivia: Snoopy measures in at an itty bitty 3 3/4". :)

I'm just so pleased with the reaction I got out of my husband. I could tell he really loved it and that made me feel wonderful!
