Alien Robot Chickens
I knit these two guys for the twins of a friend of mine. While I do have the Jess Hutch book, it’s (dun dun dun) in storage, so I just winged the robots.
The problem with winging it is that I ended up with robots not nearly as cute as hers. My husband said that I should “keep them because they look like chickens.” E (Poking My Eyes Out) said they look like aliens. Yeah. Oops. They’re squishy and soft anyway!
They were knit on US5 needles in Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted. I stuffed them with acrylic polyfill and then tossed them in the washer and dryer to full them lightly (they didn’t full that much since I knit them very tightly to prevent the stuffing from coming out).
HAPPY Alien Robot Chickens :)
