Four tiny jointed babies in one pattern: a brown bear, a polar bear, a grey elephant and a striped tiger cub with whiskers. They are small enough to sit in a pocket or in the palm of your hand – sweet keepsakes, baby-shower decorations and gifts.
A crochet pattern by Julia Ogol with detailed step-by-step photos (64 pages). Cotter-pin joints let the head, arms and legs move.
