Today was a good day, I think, for making a little guy.
I started with the base pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly Oct 2025, intending to make the little guy without the hat. Instead of subtracting the rows for the folded brim in the pattern, I left them in, so he became extra looooong. I ended up stuffing some of the body rows inside during the sewing-up process, but he’s still kind of a tall bean.
Instead of the hat, I made a little mop of i-cord hair, inspired by KnitMachineImpl’s “Megan Donner hat” video.

Pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly Oct 2025, which calls for spider legs, but I think the “little guy”-ness is correct without them.
