I posted my precious Lowly Worm plush a few days ago and today I finished up his good buddy, Huckle.
As I mentioned in my original post, fellow blogger, Suzy Fairchild shared these 1977 Richard Scarry pattern pieces on i heart fabric:
Huckle actually ended up taking longer than Lowly because I lost interest. He just isn't as cute. Granted, is there anything as cute as a 14" felt worm wearing a bowler's hat? I think not.
I veered from the original pattern a little because, while comparing the pattern to the modern pictures of Huckle, I couldn't help but notice that he is a different color and always wearing the Oktoberfest-y suspenders:
Even though I'm not entirely in love with my Huckle, I am debating making matching Sally Cat and Goldbug puppets.
Goldbug would be particularly fun because I could hide him in different places around the library, you know, like Richard Scarry does on all the pages of his books? Ahhh, the things school librarians find entertaining.
Last, but not least, I need to get my hands on an adult-sized Richard Scarry shirt:
