The 6th of October was national badger day and it was great to see so many wonderful badger pictures all over the internet.

I love badgers! To me they represent kindness and wisdom as well as strength and loyalty. I have designed this sweet little badger patch to celebrate national badger day. You could add your little badger friend onto a blanket, cushion or pencil case. I’m going to turn my mini cette of two into some elbow patches.

I made my badgers using dk yarn but the pattern only uses very small amounts so you could use anything you have lurking in your stash.

I hope you enjoy using this pattern. If you do please consider taking a look at the wildlife trust’s suggestions on how you can be an advocate for badgers in ending the badger cull.
