Slimy

One of my favourite characters on Sesame Street was Slimy the worm.  As I have plenty of time on my hands, today I decided to make him.

Slimy is made from yellow and orange 8ply yarn, crocheted with a 3mm hook.  He is filled with polyester stuffing and has a wire armature so that I can pose his body and mouth.  The inside of the mouth is maroon and pink felt.  They eyes are two 4mm black glass beads.
