Notes

This took a while because I didn’t like the ear flaps I did and left it for a couple of weeks while I ignored it. They looked like long isosceles triangles. Redid the earflaps starting with 15 stitches reducing two either end until I had 3, then did a single shell on the end.

Spent absolutely ages on it today, making all the bits as I am seeing the recipient’s mother tomorrow, and am really happy with how it has turned out. I was worried for a while, but once I put the eyebrows on, it all came together. :-)

It is unexpected just how nice it feels. The combination of the cheap Stylecraft and the Debbie Bliss Angel feels really quite nice. I would like to use this combination again.

Used lots of bits of Sirdar Snuggly in black and white and red and some Drops Karisma leftovers for the sewn on bits.
