Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?

No, it’s a super cute little comet looking for somewhere to call home!

And just to make things even better, you can also make it into a brooch so you can wear it out and about and impress the neighbors.

Alternatively, why not make a fabulously geeky comet magnet - just wait until the local astronomers find out what’s orbiting your fridge!

The ButterflyLove pdf Amigurumi Baby Comet knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions and handy hints along the way. It is suitable for a beginner/intermediate knitter and you can whip up your comet in a matter of minutes. It comes with advice on how to adapt the basic comet tail so it is wider or layered, and how to turn it into a magnet or brooch.

You can also contact me at any point if you need technical advice or have any other queries.
