Mini Word Game Stuffie Crochet Pattern

Mini Word Game Stuffie.  Do you play or know someone who plays the word game, Wordle?  I play it every morning – I’m addicted.  ;’) 

According to Wikipedia, “Wordle is a web-based word game created and developed by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with feedback given for each guess in the form of colored tiles indicating when letters match or occupy the correct position.”

This Mini Word Game Stuffie pattern was inspired by the word game.  The pattern is crocheted in single crochet stitches and requires a minimum of color changes.  The vertical and horizontal lines are surface crochet slip stitches or you could embroider the lines.

This little cutie can be a stocking stuffer this holiday season, a fidget or stress buddy, or a keychain toy.  The stuffie can be crocheted in a short time with small amounts of green, grey, yellow and white yarns.  It could be made in any color combination, but the official game is in green, yellow and grey. Hope you enjoy crocheting the Mini Word Game Stuffie,
