Knit Shape Toys

These Knit Shape Toys are two bizarre yet utterly charming knit toys creatively named after their shapes. They're cute enough to enchant your toddlers and interesting enough to decorate the desks of your more mature peers. This is an intermediate project that requires very few materials! Using about a ping-pong ball size of sock yarn, some buttons (or thick black thread if you plan on giving these to kids who like to put everything in their mouth), and a lot of imagination, can create the cutest little duo to ever come from your knitting needles.
