About this pattern

What a dapper darling Chloe Hailwood has created from four fabrics and a little felt – it adds up to around 50cm square in total. The trick is to use the reverse of some of the plains for coordinating colours! Remember that if you are gifting to a small child, embroider flat stitches or French knots for adorable eyes.

Essentials

  • Fabric: assorted, four
  • Safety eyes, two, 5mm
  • Fibre filling
  • Embroidery thread: red, black

Essentials
