Here is likely my last Yo Gabba Gabba pattern. I tried Plex, but my Chihuahuas ate my notes and I doubt I will start over again.
Muno and Brobee are available.
Reminder, these suckers are enormous. Foofa is approximately 3 feet tall. She takes a lot of yarn.
If you make her, let me know either via email or #drunkenauntwendy.

Thank you thank you thank you for coming with this pattern.. I will post a pic of this when I am done making this for my little one for Christmas.. I have been looking for this like crazy.. Is this going to be the same size as Brobe and Muno dolls? If so this is so freaken great!!!! Thanks again for coming up with the pattern…
Hi Wendy!! I think this is so wonderful that you came up with this pattern. I just have a couple of questions for you. 1, how many skiens of the pink yarn did you use? Also I caught a typo for you. on the leggs part it says body instead of feet.. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks.. I will send you a picture of how mine looks when it is done..
April:
Thanks so much. I was using the 7oz skeins from Hobby Lobby. To be on the safe side get at least 3. I look for the typo. Thanks so much for telling me about it. Plex is almost done, I hope to have him up on the blog soon.
I can’t wait to see your pictures.
Wendy
I absolutely love your Yo Gabba Gabba series. I hope you are able to do them all, and hopefully I can start working on them. Both my kids just love that show and it would be great for Christmas.
I was looking back through the archive and fell in love with alot of your others (especially angry birds and boob scarf).
Keep up the beautiful work, will send pics if I can find time to work . 🙂
Kristine, thank you so much. If you are making them for Christmas I’d start now. They are huge :). Plex will be up soon and then I’ll start on the blue one. I’ll try to post more.
She is so cute. Thank you very much for sharing :o)
Thank you for kind words.
Hi Wendy, I did finish the doll. She took some where around 5 pounds of pillow stuffing. This doll go everywhere with us. She was a big hit at Hobby lobby the other night. Let me know if you would like to see the pics. I can email them to you… See ya April
April,
Thanks so much, I know she is absolutely huge. The little ones I make them for like having toys their own size. I’d love pictures. If you don’t mind me posting them, I’ll put them up on the blog. My email is wendythornburg@yahoo.com.
Thanks again,
Wendy

Oh my goodness! I have been looking for these for my niece!!! I’m so excited.
I hope she loves them. When I say they are huge, I am not kidding. They are 2-3 feet tall.
Thank you! Did you finish all of them? My sister asked if I’d be willing to do all of them. 🙂
I lost my mojo when it came to these so I haven’t finished all of them. It is hard because I have an almost finished plex, but my dog ate the pattern.
