The navy + orange eyes on left is Bernat velvet in navy. It was incredibly soft, but obviously has a greater drape and made for my sister. This one is my favorite (even though he’s less structured)
The baby blue + white eyes on right is Bernat baby blanket chenille in overcast. It has more form, and I did line it (per the directions), as this was a swap gift for my buddy curiousfae.
Both shipped out yesterday for their new homes. Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Are those supposed to be bag catchers (I don’t know the official name for it - a bag to hold plastic bags)? That’s so cool! I’ve only ever seen Yip Yips done as toys or puppets.
I think that’s what a lot of people ended up using them for? They’re surprisingly large! My sister will probably put dog toys, leashes, socks, or even use for kitchen towel storage?
The lined one would obviously function better with little bits so they wouldn’t fall through. If I was just going to use for bags, I don’t know I would line it though.
Agh! I love these so much. Their little faces! The are so fun and whimsical. I love that they are functional too. They would make you smile every time you used them.
Oh. Emm. Gee! I am in love. They are both so fabulous but omg the navy has just the right drape & sheen. You’ve convinced me to tackle this monstrous project & make a set for myself. Thanks for the yarn name & pattern link!
OMG THE YIP YIPS! I had to share youtube clips with my husband to show him what they were since he didn’t watch Sesame Street much as a kid.
I love these! I think I need one for my sewing room!
After seeing these, Is there any other way to store plastic bags? Surely not as fun and ADORABLE as these guys.
I can’t believe I will have my own Yip Yip.
Action shot!
I got him today. He’s in my laundry room where I keep the bags but I’m going to make him a spot in the kitchen so everybody can see him!
Thanks again @JoyfulClover
They are his favorite muppets!
Great job!
