Scrap down- Baby toy

This week a little scrap down that was knitted in an evening. Also a chance to try felting.

Yarn: Mixture of Brown sheep Worsted and Wash and Fliz it fine held double
Needles: 4.0mm dpns

This is a really simple pattern that uses up scraps of feltable yarn nicely. It is quick to do and you can keep adding rings until you run out of yarn. Once it is all sewn together, into the washing machine it goes!

I have not done a lot of felting yet so am pleased with how this came out. It was a very easy one to do as it does not have to finish a particular size. It just got tied into a pillow case and put in a 60 degree wash with some towels for a full cycle. It escaped from the pillow case at some point during the wash but doesn't seem to have come to any harm.

  1. You are so clever! This toy is divine!! Your felting is certainly much better than mine, mine refuses to shrink much :) Thank you for submitting to Project Share...I hope you'll upload something next week as well :))

  5. Oh, how funny that I immediately thought they were the begining of the Olympic Rings...

    It seems like a really good idea for a baby.
