In my opinion this pattern will only work in these yarns, Bernat pipsqueak #5 Bulky = Ears, arms and head.
Bernat Baby Boucle #5 Bulky = Blankie
Before sewing on ears = pinch tog. at base + sew before attaching!
Ears: (only make 2) needles: 5mm (US #8) and 2.75mm (US 2 3/4)
1. With #5 straight needles cast on 6 sts.
2. Knit 9 rows even
3. Change to straight needles 2 3/4 (2.75mm) and knit 6 rows even.
4. K 2 tog, then knit rem. 5 sts.
5. K even 4 more rows (these 5 sts.)
6. K 2 tog, then knit rem. 4 sts.
7. K even 4 more rows (these 4 sts.)
8. K 2 tog. Bind off, cut and leave a tail to sew onto head.
Arms: (only make 2) has a seam underneath to sew up.
1. Cast on 14 sts. using straight needles 2 3/4 (2.75mm)
2. K 9 rows even
3. K 6, K 2 tog. K 6 (13 sts)
4. K even
5. K5, (k 2 tog) 2 times, K4 (11 sts)
6. Knit
7. K 2 tog, k3, k 2 tog, k 2, k 2 tog (8 sts)
8. Knit 8 rows even
9. K 2 tog, k4, k 2 tog (6 sts)
10. Knit even these 6 sts. for 8 rows.
11. Cut yarn here and leave a long tail to thread through the 6 sts. and continue to sew up seam which will be underneath the arm, pull a bit firm, sew arms to the underneath side of head which is already (the head)
attached to the blankie. Arms go on last. You may want to put some stuffing in the upper arm, just a tiny bit. I did.
Note: M1 means to knit in front and back of same stitch

1. Knit
2. K 1, (m1, k1) to end (12 sts.)

14. K 1, k 2tog to the end (10 or 11 sts.) doesn't matter which.
15. K 3, (k 2tog) 2 times, k 3, (8 sts.)
16. Cut yarn and leave a very long tail, thread through a darn needle, (with a big eye) and sew up some of the
seam, here you would put eyes, nose, and mouth before stuffing. Sew up rest and gather around the diameter and pull to bring slack inward towards neck, sew to center of blankie real good. Take some of the rem. tail and wrap around once or twice to fill in neck gaps and then cut yarn and tie a good knot and poke inside.
Blanket: Using #7 big straight needles, I just knitted a square in simple garter stitch with Bernet Baby Boucle in
Dust of Pink and did a single crochet or knit flowers and sew onto blankie. Done
