A favorite is back, this time in a slightly different shape and color.
How: I search and find free patterns on Pinterest.
Tip 1: I crochet with cotton yarn, crochet quite tightly so that the stuffing doesn’t fall out, and stuff them tightly for durability and machine washability.
Tip 2: When crocheting for children, make sure that nothing can come loose. Safety first, always. In this case, I have tied a business card in a silk ribbon instead of sewing on my badge button as I usually do.
Last year a colleague at work was expecting a baby and I made this little guy.
