I don’t care what anyone else says, Pluto will always be my favourite planet! So romantic and oh so distant. Once we only knew it as a few pixels, now we can enjoy its splendour thanks to NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.

This little plush makes a beautiful gift for the astronomer, astrophysicist or dreamer in your life!

The ButterflyLove pdf Pluto, Chron and Companion Moons knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions. It is suitable for a beginner knitter and you can whip your little plush up in an evening. You can also contact me at any point if you need technical advice or have any other queries.
