Notes

I used the ‘Paul the Toadstool’ doll pattern for the basic body.

Henry’s aviator helmet was made with the ‘Heartland’ yarn and a 5mm hook - based on the Aviator Hat pattern from Repeat Crafter Me. The ‘Heartland’ yarn gave the helmet a leather look. I used a metallic yarn (reverse sc) to highlight the goggles.

The hot air balloon I found on Google - no source website given….just found an image.

I cross-stitched basic cloud shapes with a plain white yarn, then over-sewed them with a fuzzy white yarn to make them ‘fluffy’.
