Bob the Blood Drop

Use him when you go to donate blood! He fits perfectly in you hand and can be used instead of the rubber balls wrapped in paper towels they give you to squeeze.

You'll need:
Size F Hook
Red Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart)
Saftey Craft Eyes, Buttons, or Black Yarn

Row 1: SC 4 in magic Ring (or, ch 2 and sc 4 in second ch from hook). Join {sl st to first SC, ch1}
Row 2: SC in each st, join
Row 3: *SC in first st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Row 4: *SC in first st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Row 5: *SC in first st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Row 6: SC in each st, join
Row 7: *SC in first two st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Row 8: SC in each st, join
Row 9: *SC in first two st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Row 10: SC in each st, join
Row 11: *SC in first st, 2 SC in next st* repeat from *, join
Rows 12-20: SC in each st, join
(about here you probably want to add the eyes – I used just those safety craft eyes, but you could used yarn or buttons, as well.)
Rows 21-23: *SC in first st, SC 2tog* repeat from *, join
(stuff-as-you-go decreases)
Row 24: SC 2tog
(Cram as much stuffing as you can in as you’re closing him up, remember, he’s there to be squeezed so he needs to be fairly firm.)
Fasten off.
