Six tiny, fluffy friends that fit in your palm: a panda, a rabbit, a puppy, a kitten, a mouse and a monkey, each with jointed head, arms and legs, little bells and silky bows. Tuck them into the sewn fabric envelope “pocket”, use one as a brooch or a bag charm, or give the whole family as a gift.
A crochet pattern by Julia Ogol with 56 pages of step-by-step photos. All six animals and the fabric envelope are included.
