Larry the Cucumber from Veggietales Created by Lyndee Pitiak
"And now it's time for silly song with Larry... I was first introduced to Veggietales when my kids were almost too big for them, but we enjoyed watching the videos.Fast forward to 2011 and my grandson absolutely loves watching the dvds. So for his birthday (his first!), I just had to make him toys of his favorite characters (Bob, LarryandJr.). They are crocheted with a G hook and leftover worsted weight yarn from my stash, so I can't giveyouyardage(sorry!). Larry is about 8” tall and 3" in diameter Materials: Gcrochethook Partial skein of green worsted weight yarn Small amounts of white & black worsted weight yarn Stitch marker (split) or safety pin Yarnneedle Stuffing Abbreviations: ch= chain st = stitch sc = single crochet tog = together slp st = slip stitch
