We will continue with the Baby Mookies, but this cute idea occurred to me yesterday and I sat down and put it together before it flew away! This is what it ended up becoming, a baby toy in the shape of a dog.
It is super easy and fast to make. So, if there is a baby you love, make this Oodle for him or her. Are you going to a baby shower? Add this Oodle to your gift. Just have fun with it!

We got Diddly’s “Body” made. Now, threading blunt needle
with first tail you left, begin to sew the sides closed even as you stuff along,
fasten off and weave end at the end of each color. Continue this way until you
have a tube. Do not cut off your yarn just yet, sew together both ends until
you have a closed circle. Now, twist your closed circle to form the figure of
an 8. Insert the blunt needle into the crocheted fabric, and pass it underneath
the fabric while you hold together the shape of your 8 with the opposite hand,
make small stitches around that area to secure the shape, so that it won’t fall
apart. If you have to, insert the needle
deep into the stuffing and bring it up on the opposite side and then, with tiny
stitches, join the pieces together, work for heavy use. Fasten off, weave in
ends.
