The Monster Itsy Softie is the third Softie in the Itsy softies series.  Thank you to everyone who preordered this series!

New Itsy Softies are our tiniest softies ever!  These cuties measure just 2 1/2" tall and are perfect for tucking into a pocket or purse! 

Itsy Softies fit into the 4x4 hooping.  Several can be made in one larger hooping!

Itsy Softies are made entirely in the hoop with the exception of one tiny seam which is whipped shut by hand after stuffing.

I highly recommend only using stretchy fleece or knits for the Itsy Softies so they are not too difficult to turn. 

I found they turn fairly easily if using a bamboo knitting needle.
