Strikkebuddy | Gary den grønne drage

The knit texture is surprisingly dense and sturdy, so it holds its shape even after my toddler drags it everywhere. It’s also unbelievably soft to the touch, which makes it the perfect little snuggle companion for naps.

My nephew’s eyes lit up the second he grabbed Gary—the yarn is so soft I almost kept him for myself. He’s already the favorite bedtime buddy, and at under $35, this felt like a steal for how well-made he is.

The knit stitch texture is really well done—it’s sturdy enough for a toddler to drag around, yet still soft enough for snuggle time. I’ve already bought a second one for a baby shower because it’s such a safe, simple gift.
