Strickfreund | Hase Merry

Merry arrived in time for my niece’s first birthday and she hasn’t let it go since. The yarn is dense enough that it holds its shape but still squishes perfectly for tiny hands. Under $35 felt like a steal for something this well made.

The knit texture is so nicely done—tight enough that it keeps its shape but still super soft to the touch. My daughter hasn't put Merry down since it arrived, and it's held up through a few drooly hugs without pilling.

I bought this for my niece's first birthday and she immediately grabbed it and wouldn't let go. The knit is tight and sturdy enough that I'm not worried about it falling apart in her mouth. It's the perfect little size for a baby to hold onto.
