Lars is that soft, snuggly lovey you just know will become part of the bedtime routine. The one that gets carried from cot to car seat to couch: chewed, cuddled, and totally loved.

This one’s super easy to personalise with your favourite colours, and you’ve got two finishing options: a soft knotted tail or a pacifier loop (because let’s be honest… those things disappear constantly). Instructions for both are in the pattern. Here is a video to show you how to attach the pacifier.

It’s beginner-friendly, works up quickly, and makes a thoughtful, handmade baby shower gift. You can use safety eyes or embroider them, whatever feels best for the little one you’re making it for.

Lars is simple, sweet, and always a hit.
