  PRECAUTIONS FOR MAKING KNITTING PLUSH TOYS FOR BABIES Since these stuffed animals are designed for babies, we must take some precautions when we choose the materials that we are going to use and tips to weave them: Do not use objects that can come loose or become loose, such as safety eyes or noses, external rattles, or small decorative accessories that can be swallowed. Instead, it is suggested to embroider the eyes, the nose and the snout or mouth -when appropriate-. In addition, you will see that they are very beautiful and add personality to the doll.

  It is important to consider the quality of the yarn that we use, since specific yarns or yarns for babies are softer, contain better raw materials, although they tend to be more expensive. Cotton, soft wool or alpaca will be soft and comfortable for babies during their first months of life, avoiding allergies and chafing. When purchasing the yarn, make sure it is machine washable, as they will require frequent cleaning and should be easy to sanitize and not get ruined quickly.
