Materials
– Worsted weight cotton yarn in 2–6 colors (~80g total)
– 4 mm knitting needles
– Stuffing fiber (polyfill or cotton scraps)
– Tapestry needle
– Scissors

Instructions

  1. Make 6 Squares (All Same Size):

    • CO 20 stitches

    • Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 24 rows

    • Each square should be approx. 10×10 cm

    • Make each square in a different color or alternate two

  2. Block Assembly:

    • Lay out 4 squares in a line — this will form the sides

    • Sew sides together to form a tube

    • Attach 1 square to top, 1 to bottom with whipstitch or mattress stitch

    • Leave small gap open

  3. Stuffing & Closing:

    • Stuff the cube with polyfill until firm but soft

    • Sew final seam closed securely

How To

  1. Why Garter Stitch?
    It lies flat and gives slight stretch for a squishy cube

  2. Safe for Babies:
    Avoid plastic embellishments — all yarn and stuffing should be baby-safe

  3. Creative Additions:
    Embroider letters, add rattles inside, or use sensory fabrics as patches

  4. Size Adjustments:
    CO more stitches and rows for larger cubes — just keep squares equal

  5. Washable Tip:
    Use washable yarn and stuff lightly so it can be machine washed if needed
