Fancy meeting you here!
I "made"one for B when she was a baby. I took a recieving blanket and stuffed a "head" in the center and tied it for the neck. Then I tied a knot in two of the corners... I guess I could have sewn the thing down the sides... but I really didn't know other people did this. I just figured it was a "waldorfy" kind of thing .
She still has it on her shelf. I asked her the other day if she wanted to toss it (she is into art and rarely touches a doll).. and she looked at me like I was nuts.
It would sleep in the bed with us when she was brought into bed... and then she had it with her at other times during the day.

I you could take 2 square pieces of material, sew them wrong sides together, and turn and topstitch leaving one corner open. Then knot 2 of the other ends and sew in a stuffed head one of the other corners- you could leave the head plain or you could make it like a waldorf head. Then sew on a cap.
hey hon! C. likes to suck on cloth stuff. she always has her hand, shirt or a burp cloth stuffed in her mouth. well, not stuffed, she's only a month old, but if her mouth comes across one of those things, she sucks away!
so i thought a snoodle would be a good sucky toy for her. i was thinking of making it from an organic prefold.
