    About

    This pattern is from:
    Baby Knits Collection Booklet from Lets |Knit

    Accessories

    Other : small amount of stuffing for the bears muzzle and small amounts of black, light blue and pink for embroidery

      These are great for babies. I made one for one of my grandchildren a long time ago. I even used the same yarn you have and have some left in my stash somewhere! 😂

      I love the idea of a personalised book for a small child. Lovely! 😀

        I had some photos sent me of the little boys enjoying their books, it was lovely to see them being used and enjoyed. The fish was particularly popular!
