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!
I thrifted the Best Make-It book ever, but was devastated to later find the Lowly Worm plush pattern was missing. Thank you so SO much for this scan! Now I'm just missing the "Mr Paint Pig Paints Things" pages, but I can make peace with that becasue Lowly was my priority!!
