September's Featured Pattern:
The Mix & Match Critters
For the month of September 2017 this pattern will be available for 50% off!
That's just $2!! No code needed!
The Critters feature no-sew, attach-as-you-go limbs! The arms & legs are made first so they can be added to the body as you go. This technique is easy to learn & so much faster than sewing them on!
Check out my "Attach As You Go" post for a video tutorial & written instructions!
Measuring about 4 inches from head to toe these cuties are perfect for sticking in a backpack or pocket! They use very little yarn & can be made in just a couple hours. Pattern includes step-by-step instructions for making & assembling all 6 Critters including: dog, cat, mouse, fox, koala & monkey.
