Please Note: The book is a hand illustrated story about Meri, a recipe for cherry chocolate chip cookies, sewing instructions to make Meri’s quilt & knitting directions for Meri that include both pictures & diagrams. It’s all about Meri!

Delight a child in your life with Meri’s story and Meri that you knitted. Includes a gift tag for gifting.

Meri requires less than a skein of both gray & yellow, & only small amounts of the other colors, a good way to use leftovers.

Knitting little parts is fun & easy, sewing them together not so much. That’s why Meri is mostly knit in the round on DPN, stuffed and finished as she grows. Her legs & ears are knitted separately and joined to her body with knitting, only her arms are sewn into place & her neck sewn closed after stuffing. Her nightshirt is worked flat separately, on larger needles. The sleeves, sides, placket, & chocolate chip cookie dough are the only other pieces sewn.
