    Thank you so much...in the past I have made some knitted toys, and even got my husband to make a pair of metal half moon spectacles for an old fashioned bear. It is true that the features ' make or break' the project, and it is why I have a few toys left unfinished. But you have inspired and enabled me to get them out and finish the faces, with new techniques! So appreciated! Thank you.

      It actually just depends. Typically my knitted ones don't. The only ones that stand up on their own are a couple of my crocheted ones like the Pica Pau frog that has two very sturdy legs. A four legged toy also might be able to stand on its own if the legs are stuffed really firmly. Hope that helps. 💓
