This little guy is Spheroid. I've been making these little stuffed animals for about a year or so, and they're lots of fun. Just the right size to go in a pocket, backpack, or purse, they make good gifts for kids (especially if you have to make a lot of them). They're a really quick knit, and are a good way to use up extra bits of yarn. I use sport weight or sock yarn with size 2 needles to keep them small, but the gauge isn't really important. If you use larger needles and worsted weight or bulky yarn, you'll just get a bigger Spheroid. I have finally written up a pattern for them, which I hope to be able to offer in a couple days (once I figure out how to save it as a .pdf).
