Michael the Shape

He’s not going to explain himself. Michael the Shape doesn’t monologue, doesn’t hurry, and doesn’t stop — he just shows up, exactly when the room got quiet enough to notice. An intermediate stitch for makers who find the stillness scarier than the shouting. No backstory needed; the silence says enough. He’ll make the quietest corner of your display the one everyone avoids looking at directly. **MATERIALS** This pattern uses the following medium weight beginner yarns: Baiyou Yarn in: Navy Easy Peasy Yarn in: Brown Tan Gray Black Hejin Yarn in: White 2 × 10mm safety eyes Stuffing 4mm hook Scissors Darning/tapestry needle Red marker (optional) **TERMS & TECHNIQUES** This pattern uses U.S. terms and is completed in the round, unless otherwise noted.
