Do you remember Lowly worm from The Busy World of Richard Scarry? Well, I crafted the above Lowly worm from bits of felt, denim and buttons to serve as decoration at a book-themed baby shower I co-hosted this past weekend. (I look for any reason to craft stuffed dolls.....like this, this, this)
My plan was to print a picture of Lowly to attach to the basket where we collected books for the new baby, but then I stumbled across this blog with the Lowly pattern, and I decided a felt doll is always better than a paper cut-out.
The pattern came from Richard Scarry's Best Make It Book Ever. The book is out of print so it was a real treat to find the above scanned doll pattern on-line. Here is a picture of Lowly in his worm-mobile.

Awww...this my favorite toy that you've made.
Just delightful!
i agree with sol. so cute! where is the "like" button?
thank you so much for sharing this!
I had that very book and made Lowly over 45 years ago. He is now worn through in spots, and a new grand baby needs to have her own Lowly to hold as her mama reads the same stories to her. Thank you publishing this, as I hope to print out a copy of the pattern page you kindly included, and dust off my sewing machine this week!
