    About

    My daughter is expecting her first child later this year and thought this would make a lovely first cuddly toy for him or her. The pattern is easy to follow and it knits up very quickly. The hardest part is trying to get the stuffing right so that it looks good and the face details. I really enjoyed making this.

        Many thanks Pat, I loved making this and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm looking for something else to make now that's fairly easy, so if you have any ideas please let me know.

        @Carol M: bless Carol, all my patterns are easy, same as this little cuddly :) Most popular at the moment seems to be Elderberry Bunny, maybe it's with Easter approaching.

        @Pat A: I've checked out your patterns Pat, they are all amazing, you are an exceptional craft maker. I would definitely like to have a go at making a few more of your items. I very much like Wildberry Bear, Comfort Critters and Welcome to New Baby Wreath. I may try all of these although, it does say skills required intermediate so hope I am able to cope with what's required and do your beautiful patterns justice.

        @Carol M: lol the intermediate bit. I never know how to rate my patterns to be honest. The knitting part is easy, depending on the yarn, some yarns can be a challenge. It's the making up that sometimes is a little taxing, which is why I include the step by step guides.
