Design: Blanket Buddy (freebie available here)
Designer: Lion Brand
Yarn: Wendy Supreme Cotton 1866 Amber Splash
Needles: 4mm
This little freebie pattern knitted up really quickly, and with no seaming, it makes a great, safe gift for little ones! The head piece is cleverly knitted in a slip stitch pattern which creates a double layer which can be pulled open for stuffing once it's off the needles. Very nifty!
I made this rather smaller than the pattern says because of the finer yarn and thinner needles, but to my mind, this is a more portable comforting toy/face wipe/puppet/bib for a small baby, and being 100% cotton, can be washed and washed and washed ... My knitting group is now in love with the pattern too! So am I, I've already made a second one!

That's AWESOME! I can imagine Arden happily toting something like this around. :D Must learn to knit!!!
I love it ... where may one find the pattern? I have joined a knitting circle in an attempt to learn to knit since my own attempts to teach myself have been abysmal failures ... the experienced knitters are very kind to me and have been coaching me in simple projects as I build skill ... but I am also collecting patterns for that glorious day when I can actually work on my own.
Wow! That is so cute!!! I can't knit, but if I could, I would definitely have to put that on the list of "To do's"...
That is simply adorable!! I love it!
This is gorgeous. What an adorable pattern to knit. I can imagine that it was a hit at your knitting group
